The problem with the request is that it's not in the scope of Language
committee. Renaming "zh-min-nan" into "nan" is in the scope, as it
deals with simple code change. Renaming "als" into "<whatever>" is
also inside of the LangCom scope, as "als" is not proper code. At the
other side, stability requires that "fa" stays as "fa", as "fa" is
implicitly Farsi (besides being "macrolanguage" Persian).

However, requiring that one project doesn't include texts written in
other language and/or requiring that one project doesn't promote
itself as the home project for other languages which have their
Wikimedia projects -- that's the task for community and/or WMF; likely
for GRC. If we want to solve the problem properly. LangCom should be
consulted in this case, but it's not LangCom's which should deal with
dispute resolution among couple of communities.
