That is pure cherry-picking

You could say the same about variant or alpha 5..8 language registrations, somebody has to do the vetting. Otherwise all in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Artistic_languages> could get subtags.

No, "cherry-picking" has to do with selecting pieces from an external standard, usually while claiming to support the whole standard. Setting the rules for our own registrations, and accepting some and rejecting others, is not the same thing.
