Thanks, MF, for working Gerard's comments into the new policy draft so
sensibly and sensitively!
No further comments or changes from my side - I'd be happy to approve
those new rules.

I suppose there are living languages with few if any users and

What does everyone feel about this?

answer is no. Without proper arguments this should not happen.
And this is the BPC 47 thing. That’s a very important and
widely-implemented standard. If the 639 Agency had refused
Elfdalian, we would have created a primary tag for it. That would
