Having only joined this list the day before yesterday, I have no opinion.

However, in reading over the archive for the last couple of months,
you appear to have argued for the creation of several other languages,
even if you didn't explicitly request them.  Examples are Ancient
Greek, Gothic, Simplified Chinese, and Syriac.

I say this not to criticize: as I said, I'm new here.  But to me this
helps to explain the apparent perception by others that you are
requesting many new languages.
