RFC 4646 para 2.2.1:
Note: For languages that have both an ISO 639-1 two-character code
and an ISO 639-2 three-character code, only the ISO 639-1 two-
character code is defined in the IANA registry.
This indicates pretty clearly to me that we should *not* use the three-letter
codes for those languages for which two-letter codes are registered, since they
wouldn't be considered valid RFC 4646 language codes for web usage. If we're
not using them, and there's no past usage to drive traffic, there's little or
no reason to go adding redirects.
Resolving as INVALID, as request was made on the incorrect basis that we use a
mix of ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2/3. Rather than the implied unordered mix (in
which case trying to redirect everything to everything else could make a lot of
sense), we have always attempted to simply abide by RFC 3066 (superseded by RFC
4646), which is quite clear about the method in which it draws from those
sources. Since there is no ambiguity, there's no need to provide alternates.
