Actually, there *is* one interesting way to retain both work and interwikis:
People come here and tell us that this alternative version has fewer
differences than British-American. Well, why then have a separate
language version at all? If it's "all one Belarusan", why not merge
the be-x-old: into be: with conversion of the language to the standard
form? Why retain the artificial wantonly separation from the standard
version of the language which gets the iso 639 etc.? All links hold
then, content multiplies, etc etc.
And now, by the ensuing uproar will you know how small are the
differences, really, and how one is Belarusan. :)))
However, my motion holds, that it's no good to cancel people's work
just like that and interwiki must function too.
