The following is a preliminary list of actions to address the grandfathered
tags of RFC 3066bis as soon as RFC 3066ter comes into effect. I list them
now because I have them now and we will need them within a year or so.
Only the special case i-default and the rather useless tag zh-min will survive
grandfathered and undeprecated.
