Bull.

My role as reviewer has to do with linguistic judgement.

That does not mean that it is not needlessly onerous or difficult or tiresome to actually DO. Your comment, that you didn't give a fig about its onerousness, was rather churlish. 

Frankly I don't see a case for adding s-s Latin to a bunch of Quechua varieties just for tidiness' sake. Even if your company localizes into qu, is it localizing into 47 sub-varieties? So far you have not demonstrated urgency for this. Or a genuine reason. Wolof had a genuine reason not to have an s-s.
