It would be preposterous to register a variant "hakka" just to satisfy a 4646 grammar rule that never existed. Somewhat unrelated: My understanding is that currently 'preferred' value pointers are as follows: i-hak -> zh-hakka zh-hakka -> zh-hak I think the following would be preferable: i-hak -> zh-hak zh-hakka -> zh-hak This would avoid the need for repetition when calculating the preferred value.
