It might be worth noting that this obviously creates a double-standard,
and why we have (nearly) monthly back-and-forths about the merits
of dead/dying/extinct/zombie languages. If said projects weren't allowed
from the start, then there'd be less of an argument for inclusion.

As it stands, we hear "But those got projects, why not us?" To which the
common reply has become "That was then, this is now."
