This is exactly the policy we adopted several years ago, which has proved insufficient. Relying on existence of ISO codes brings us:
- split Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian replacing Serbocroatian [controverial]
- Klingon
etc and denies various languages/dialects/whatever which don't have their own codes but which are oft asked for.

Actually I was suggesting it as a means to pre-sift through new language requests. Then those situations which require further attention could be handled more delicately.
Well, that *is exactly* what we've done the last few years.
