Speaking as editor of RFC 4645bis, I would need some specific wording in
RFC 4646bis to authorize this. I cannot in good faith exclude any
subtag from the 4645bis Registry without an objective justification, on
the basis that members of ietf-languages feel the subtag is silly or a
joke or a mistake. To do so would be a process failure in the truest
sense of the phrase.
(Speaking as a contributor, I absolutely agree that the "language"
Europanto is silly and a joke, and that its inclusion in ISO 639-3 was a
mistake.)
