I never said that. I would not make any statement about ISO 639-6 when
the data is not available.
I said that the deltas for the initial version with ISO 639-*3* would
add up to 35,700 lines -- and yes, that would put the grand total at
over 40,000 lines.
It's hard to follow this line of argument that a registry with 7,600
languages would be too large, and simultaneously that it should instead
support 20,000 languages, unles the object is to do away with the
registry altogether and have everyone invent new tags on the fly. What
good would such nonce tags be?
