Hi Naoto, Mark,
Thank you for all the comments. I will keep "Cape Verde" unchanged in
LocaleNames.properties since CLDR is de facto standard of locale data.
So far I assume that the request has been approved and I will commit and
push back the change in
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~yhuang/8055222/webrev.00/ without any
modification. If I need to make any change, please feel free to tell me.
thanks,
Yong

Hi Mark,
I understand that the English name for "CV" should be customary "Cape
Verde" in English, but for the root locale, should the name adopt ISO
3166's bare name, where they switched it from "Cape Verde" to "Cabo
Verde"?

Besides country name, there is also the change in currency name
"Cape Verde Escudo" -> "Cabo Verde Escudo". CurrencyNames.properties
is generated based on CLDR and the currency name in it is "Cape
Verdean escudo", same as what in latest CLDR. So I will leave
CurrencyNames.properties unchanged, and only modify
LocaleNames.properties.
BTW, for a name of an entity in a given language, CLDR tries to use the
most common, customary form/in that language/. "Cape Verde" is (at least
for now) the most common name for CV in English, although of course the
name can be different in other languages.
