Hello,

I hope you are all doing well.

Two years ago, when I wrote this email I was hoping to get a meaningful
answer why a very simple PR got rejected. Instead, I got a bunch of emails
complaining about "babysitting pull requests".
For your information, PR was done inline with README recommendations of the
repo. I found it disrespectful and decided to abandon all of my good
intentions to bring the correct naming at all.

A bit of useful information that I got that day was that Kyiv is not
"enough" popular..

Doing the same "sanity" search today as you @eggert did 2y ago, I can see
98M for Kyiv and 97M for Kiev (google.com, UK). Is it enough now? Could we
return to my pull request this week?

Kind regards,
Viktor
