Well, we know about the differences in that German for example is not
"de" but "deu". There are no problems with interwiki-links, so it does
not really matter who uses what. The complete upload file of all
Babel-templates (iso 639-3) is being created (I did almost half of it)
and is free for anyone to use. I am not going the XML way, but create it
in such a way that it can be uploaded with the pywikipedia bot - so no
special upload rights are needed.
Therefore it only means that we are using the latest available set of
the ISO-639 series, ISO-639-3
It is going to be used also for wikis outside the foundation - therefore
it makes sense to have some kind of Babel-standard and no ambiguous
codes. At the time when most wikipedias were created with ISO 639-2
codes that seemed enough - today things are different.
Then there is that other problem that some wikipedias use codes that are
not ISO-639-3 and even worse, there is at least one that uses a code
that in ISO 639-3 is defined with another language (don't know if that
was changed in the meanwhile) - but you can find posts on that theme
from some weeks ago in the archive.
It makes sense therefore to separate language codes from Wikipedia codes.

If you are aware of
any differences pls tell me, so I can have the users know that they are
going to chenge some of their usual behaviours. All I know so far is that
there also is an XXX-5 level for people making a professional use of a
language.

Yes, it's much wider. Why should I import an
older tool version, since I
am
to start now?

My tought was that maybe becuse it shall be easy to ad and understand over
all wikis. But since you are aware of this, I say no more.
