Frank, if you want to resubmit your proposals to add a Suppress-Script 
for frr and frs and fy, I won't argue against them.  It seems rather 
clear, from a brief amount of research, that these languages are, and 
always have been, overwhelmingly written in the Latin script.

If you want to propose, based on this, that we evaluate each of the 363 
primary language subtags in the current Registry -- or the 7,067 in the 
proposed 4646bis Registry -- that do not currently have a 
Suppress-Script, to see if one should be added, then I would suggest you 
find an organization that is willing to finance such a project.  I'm a 
volunteer and have to fit this work into my spare time.
