It's beneficial because the grandfathered tag "en-scouse" can then
become redundant. Users can then compose the tag "naturally" using
subtags and implementers won't need to handle the tag as a special case
any more.
Ideally, only tags that could never be legal under RFC 3066bis would
remain grandfathered and hopefully all of these items are or will be
deprecated.

There are not "two" Yiddish tags, please note. Only "yi-Latn" was ever
in the old registry---and it's redundant ('yi' and 'Latn' both being
valid subtags).
