OK, I just wrote that I'd expect a proportional increase, but I forgot about one factor: there have been a lot of changes in 639-2 precisely because it was a limited list that has been missing things that people needed, and that is *far* less likely to be the case for 639-3.

I'd still expect some increase in the number of annual changes, but I guess not an order-of-magnitude increase -- i.e. not proportionally greater.
