Rename Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv
Most recent English-language publications seem to use "Kyiv".
Although I used Google to attempt to count how popular each
spelling was, these attempts failed because Google now
automatically searches for both spellings if you give either.
Worse, it seems even to present results that alter the spelling.
For example, I searched for "Kiev" (with quotes) and the first
headline that Google News reported was "Boris Johnson Tours Kiev";
but when I visited the referenced article the headline was
actually "Boris Johnson Tours Kyiv". In this situation, Google’s
famed numeric counts don’t mean much.
For what it’s worth, I counted results by hand in a plain Google
search for Kiev in which I followed all the links, and 14 of the
19 hits in the first two pages of results preferred the spelling
"Kyiv"; when I searched for Kyiv, every hit in the first two pages
of results preferred "Kyiv". This indicates a strong preference
for "Kyiv".
* NEWS: Mention this.
* backward (Europe/Kiev): New link.
* europe, zone.tab, zone1970.tab (Europe/Kyiv):
Rename from Europe/Kiev.
