There might be one issue related to this, though. While the LTRU process drags on, the continuing efforts of standards bodies and individual requesters on ietf-languages may result in new and/or changed subtags in the existing Registry that don't appear in draft-4645bis. This has already happened as a result of the latest batch of ISO 15924 script codes, including 'Zinh' and five others.
According to the co-chairs, we can't just "AUTH48" these into the new Registry; they need to be re-added, exceptionally, by ietf-languages and the Reviewer. In the case of changes mandated by changes to core standards, the outcome will probably be the same, but in the case of individually requested variants, this could potentially result in the same debate being held twice, possibly with different results.
Given all this, I don't know whether the registration forms for such re-registered subtags might need to be posted on the IANA site a second time.
