Description
I'd like two remove the country name from the Location field. This field is both redundant with the more-sepcific Country field and inconsistently used (e.g. sometimes not used, sometimes with spelling variations like "USA" vs. "United States of America". I'm opening this issue first to:
- get feedback in case there are cases where the country information cannot be expressed with the three-letter country code
- identify any tooling that uses this repository that would not handle this change gracefully or would need additional updates in order to do so
- see if this would actually be a net-negative change, e.g. because ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes are machine-readable but are not necessarily obvious to people reading the CSV files directly
