Comment (by dharris):
I vote for fixing it.
Changing existing data is bad, but storing the wrong code when there's an
official proper code sanctioned by a national government is bad as well.
Continuing to store the incorrect code means a future of one-off hacks for
data export scripts, address printing utilities and other tools which
would use these data outside of Django.
My guess is that many sites that actually store Canadian postal codes have
already patched their code and fixed their data -- I have -- so the impact
on existing data is probably not as bad as you fear.
Fix the code and add an entry to the BackwardsIncompatibleChanges page.
Include a sample update query for those who are unclear about how to write
the simple SQL required to fix the data.
