Hey, why not?

Oh.

There are many languages that have only a ISO 639-2 code. At the moment,
two of them are supported in DateTime (sid = Sidama, and tig = Tigre),
and one language without any ISO code (x-drs = sil-drs = Gedeo). All of
these are Ethiopian languages, I think.

These languages are not included in your DT::Locale package, but they
should probably be added before DT::Loc replaces DT::Lang in the DT
core.

So you would have to add some three-letter codes, at least. But I don't
think it is necessary to include the ISO 639-2 codes for English, German
etc.
