Description
Removes Syria (
SY) fromblockedCountriesinp2p/p2p.go, so peers connecting from Syrian IP addresses are no longer rejected withErrBannedCountry.The country-level US sanctions that this entry appears to reflect are no longer in force:
The measures that remain are targeted at specific individuals and entities tied to the former regime; they are not country-wide and do not call for blocking Syrian IP ranges.
Primary source documents (Executive Order, OFAC and BIS final rules, the joint Treasury/State/Commerce Tri-Seal Advisory, Federal Register notice) are collected at https://unblocksyria.com/resources.

This is a one-line data change with no logic changes. If the list is maintained for reasons other than US sanctions compliance, could you let me know which regulation or policy the Syria entry is based on?
