I would hope it's blindingly obvious to Randy and everyone else that I
agree with this statement. I would not want to start another round of
LTRU revisions for almost any reason.
Every so often we talk about adding ISO 639-6 support, which would be a
good enough reason, but only if (a) the draft and data were fully
available for WG review, (b) ISO publication appeared imminent, and (c)
the WG had some hope of agreeing where to put the subtags
architecturally.
