"This list" isn't about "locales", it's about language subtags,
and a ":-)" is an emoticon for among others (wannabe) humorous

I'd support you, but others are free to ignore the registry for
their _different_ purposes. If what they do breaks they'll own
the pieces. As we've seen with (ab)using ISO 3166-1 codes as
"stable forever", until we got the CS reminder about what these
country codes really are.
