There is an ongoing vote to decide the name used in language links, which may or may not include Riksmål; no matter how that turns out, Riksmål is welcomed. Høgnorsk is still welcomed on nn:; there are only a few hundred users of Høgnorsk, and although one or two of those found their way to Wikipedia, there hasn't been any contributions in the last months, as far as I can tell. I might also add that the accepted policy on no: is to not aggressively go after articles in Nynorsk and translating them to Bokmål. In fact, several contributions have been made in Nynorsk after the new language policy was decided upon, and no one has been yelling about it. It's more a matter of having the right to translate them if you're a Bokmål or Riksmål user and want to work on the articles (ensuring first that the Nynorsk version or a better version exists at nn:), and to use Bokmål/Riksmål for all article names and Bokmål for category names (it's accepted that categories should be in the majority form, since redirects don't work for categories). If we can keep things this way, it won't be as much a ban against Nynorsk on no: as a guarantee that where a Nynorsk article exists at nn:, there can also be a Bokmål article at no:.
