FYI: withdrawal of ISO 639-6

[John Cowan]

Peter Constable scripsit:

> At the TC37/SC2 meeting this past summer in Berlin, a decision was

> code for comprehensive coverage of language variants". That ballot has
> just closed and has passed (simple majority required). At this point,
> national bodies will be notified and given two months in which they
> can raise objections to withdrawal.

Thanks for the heads-up.  Were any reasons given?
