Which has nothing to do with making them extlangs (which I take this thread
is about given the subject...).
As for the entirely separate issue of description change, I see no need for
*ietf-languages*, as a group, to act on this towards the 639-3 RA. Indeed
there are several much worse description naming problems in 639-3...
B.t.w. the primary description for "prs" in 639-3 is "Dari".
