I guess the interesting thing about Kiev/Kyiv is that Ukraine wishes the English spelling to be 'Kyiv', although 'Kiev' is of course much more widely used.
A much bigger example is Asia/Calcutta. "Calcutta" is still somewhat more popular than "Kolkata" in English, according to Google, but the margin is much closer. There's no hurry, but I have been thinking of changing it to Asia/Delhi. These days Delhi is a bit larger than Calcutta/Kolkata anyway. And nobody is messing with Delhi's spelling. Yet.
