I'm no expert on the specific case, but I know there are many cases
where cities have been conquered by invaders and the names have been
changed. Surely we can't label them all with Old name / New name or
New name / Old name.

I am not in favour of violence. I'm glad that history books usually
records any atrocities that are associated with the event and the
invader is often experiences economic meltdown.

OSM is a navigational aid rather than a history book. We must reflect
the names on the names on the signposts and on the letterheads.
