Context for the change
The location_gazetteers table contains a list of classification systems for countries and territorial units.
Why is this not covered by the existing model?
Although the location_gazetteers table includes the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS), it currently does not provide a way to specify the NUTS version being used. While NUTS classifications generally remain stable for at least three years, they are periodically revised and can undergo significant changes:

What is your proposed change?
We propose adding a new field that allows the version of the NUTS classification system to be explicitly captured.
Can you provide an example?
