Re: [Ltru] grandfathered to redundant?

In Section 3.4 (iana stability) we have rules for transitioning
grandfathered tags to redundant. Recently there was a thread on the
list suggesting that the remaining regular grandfathered list is
basically closed and cannot become redundant because of various other
rules we have in place. Should we modify the text to say this? (It
would be nice to get rid of extraneous rules for a change).

Gaulish keeps popping up in discussion. I would hate to see us put a clause into the draft that says "cel-gaulish will never, ever become redundant" and then ietf-languages decides they Absolutely Must make as many GF tags redundant as possible, and registers "gaulish" despite the clause.

We could add this wording, but I'm not sure what the practical benefit is, or whether anyone outside this list really cares whether the list is closed.
