Well, fair enough - LFN has an ISO 639-3 code and thus is technically eligible. However, how would it reasonably fulfill the criterion of native speaker editors? I'm even more doubtful than what Amir and Anthony expressed. I don't see how LFN can be sustainable enough to ever be allowed to leave the incubator. Sorry for my obstinacy.

Klingon has a ridiculously limited vocabulary. LFN is as interesting and useful 
as Esperanto, and has a large and preactical vocabulary. I favour 
inclusiveness. It costs us little.

Please note that SIL accepted a change request (submitted by the inventor of 
this language, cf. http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/cr_files/2007-144.pdf) but 
Ethnologue did not include lfn in their editions ever.
So? That’s Ethnologue’s business.

Given that LFN has a wiki on Wikia (cf. http://lfn.wikia.com/wiki/Paje_xef), I 
don't see why we should accept it as a Wikimedia project. Let it go the way of 
Klingon ...
