Wasn't it for Cyrillic originally? I remembered it was the other way

Yes, exactly: it was removed from the IANA Language Subtag Registry
when it was deleted from ISO 639-1, then added back again after it was
realised that, according to IETF BCP 47 rules, it should never have been
retired (that was after 2008).
