Yes.
I can see at least one problem with the macro languages list: there are at least some languages (the "Serbo-Croatian" family) that will be grandfathered into language subtags rather than extlangs.I'm not sure what you are calling for here: should Serbo-Croatian be marked as a macrolanguage in the LSR or not?
- Serbo-Croatian marked as a macrolanguage.- Its constituent languages maintained as type 'language' and not converted to type 'extlang'.
