I'm not sure why this needs to be discussed on foundation-l. The relevant page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Lang-mp&action=h...
There doesn't seem to have been much discussion about this yet.

Do you think imposing smaller languages the same pace as that of the larger ones is fair ?
That depends on the changes which are asked for. If it's about updating the pic of the day, then it only takes one or two dedicated individuals to do that. When you have a low number of required updates per day, update frequency is actually a fairly unbiased criterion of comparing languages, as opposed to the article count we use on Wikipedia to determine visibility of language links.
If the update conditions are clearly defined, reasonable, and applied fairly and consistently to restore or remove links, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
