The fact that there is a preceding but similar entry that's commented
out tells me that at some point this was updated, probably on specific
request, but I have no memory of doing so. The original now-commented
line surely came from the original ISO abbrev dump.

Well, OK...git blame and git log tell me:

commit 763d1d746a58104c26c8edb4ca409079906146ef

    many language updates from
http://crosswire.org/wiki/Localized_Language_Names

So it's been that way for 7 years. There are 129 lines changed in that
commit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cebuano_language references this name. I
have no personal information about why this was an improvement.
