Well, fair enough - LFN has an ISO 639-3 code and thus is technically
eligible. However, how would it reasonably fulfill the criterion of
native speaker editors? I'm even more doubtful than what Amir and
Anthony expressed. I don't see how LFN can be sustainable enough to ever
be allowed to leave the incubator. Sorry for my obstinacy.

Klingon has a ridiculously limited vocabulary. LFN is
as interesting and useful as Esperanto, and has a large and preactical vocabulary. I
favour inclusiveness. It costs us little.

Please note that SIL accepted a change request (submitted by the inventor of this

include lfn in their editions ever.
So? That’s Ethnologue’s business.
Given that LFN has a wiki on Wikia (cf.
http://lfn.wikia.com/wiki/Paje_xef), I don't see why we should accept it as a
Wikimedia project. Let it go the way of Klingon ...
