But these are two very different cases. A code like fiu-vro is not
squatting, it is a macrolanguage code plus an invented code. als is
squatting, indeed, but that is a unique situation. I don't see what's
wrong with having xxx-xxx style codes.

Hoi,
Really problematic are codes like the one used for Alsation; the "als" code.
This code is according to the standard to be used by Tosk Albanian while we
use it for "Alsatian". This is not acceptable for what we currently do,
making it compulsory for future new projects is not acceptable either.
Projects like these should be renamed as they are squatting ligitimate codes
for ligitimate languages.
Thanks,

I add (In language Proposal policy - communiy
draft) a clause is for
languages with
active wikis, but which Code has been invented: voro (fiu-vro), tarantino
(roa-tara), Cantonese (zh-yue), min nan (zh-min-nan) , etc.
For new proposal those will continue using the same
invented code that are using.
The problem: Imagine that they will
use different codes [when get a ISO code or if they have: Min nan (nan),
Cantonese (yue)] for new projects, the technical chaos that would
occur.
