I'm in the process of writing my own mini-essay, in which I will argue strongly against the deprecation of Plane 14 language tags. Betcha that doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. It's not quite ready yet, but it definitely will be ready long before the November 5 deadline.
Right off the bat, though, I thank the UTC for initiating this "public review" process which allows non-members like me to get their two cents in regarding Unicode policies. (Hmm, two American-specific figures of speech in one sentence -- perhaps it should have been tagged en-US.) -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
