Desperately trying to change these Subject lines...

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'.

Wait a minute. I thought the purpose of identifying macrolanguages in the Registry was to tell tag creators which primary language subtags have extlangs under them. If we do this for Serbo-Croatian, which won't have any extlangs, then all we are doing is duplicating information from ISO 639-3, which Mark and others broadly rejected in John's Language-Type proposal.
