They are humans and they will work on pressure which comes from the relevant sides. And it's better they do not piss me enough to show them that everybody has limits.
To be honest, I am prepared to push this into much higher level than Wikimedia is, as they were able to change the codes for a language because one ethnicity is inherently racist and didn’t want to be connected with the other ethnicity by ISO 639-6 code name, while JAC are not capable to address colonial and racist past of their own societies.
I’m going to ignore this rhetoric.
This is the core of the problem of every dominantly white dominantly male dominantly Western institution: Ignoring its own racism, imperialism and colonialism.
BTW, it's about ISO-639-3, not ISO-639-6 code.
