It's not policy. There is no policy for creating new languages (just a
draft one at
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposed_policy_for_wikis_in_new_languages>).
I was just giving my opinion, and I feel that the relevant communities
should be told about any language proposals, not only Sinetic ones. If
some dialect of English were proposed, it would be very unfair to try
to hide that from the existing English language communities within
Wikimedia.
