"Montmorency No1 County"?

 
Yeah...I know
It sounds weird. Actually it comes from here.
I got used to putting the big Reserve faunique des Laurentides under Montmorency No1 County.
The exact spot where I found this insect is within a "non county" territory which used to be called TNO (Territory Not Organised) and we actually stopped using counties in Quebec since the beginning of the 80's.
We now are using MRC and the present location falls within Jacques-Cartier MRC.
Should I make the switch to MRCs and go back through my contributions and change that as well? On a broader scale, every contributions of mine should be switched as well. What do you think?
