Please give the fields (lines) in the same order; just be be consistent.
Pick the order of fields used in the registry. It does not formally matter,
but it makes it easier to proof-read.

I think the information that "Merge[d] with Halh Mongolian [khk]"
(from the RA's "change request summary") should be picked up here.

As above, say something about the merge here. ("merge[d] with [prs]
Dari"...)

I'm not so sure this one should be plainly "deprecated". Since "btb",
Beti (Cameroon) [languages], has been determined to be a "group"/collection,
"btb" should be regarded as a "collective code". Here I find it troublesome
that 639-5 registrations are handled by a different RA, which in addition
seems unresponsive to changes of this kind.

The following should be picked up from the "change request summary":
"Duplicate of [xch]"; or better formulated "This code is a duplicate for
[xch], Chemakum". (Personally, I think they should have picked the other
code to deprecate, but oh well...)

Again, some reformulation (for better flow) of "Merge[d] with [mom]"
(Monimbo) should be included here.

Include the info "Merge[d] into/with [dev] Domung". (But use a common
phrasing for all of the merges.)
