I have some questions because this adds an unusually high number of new codes, and this is very often a recipe for mess.
Can you please link to more community discussions about it, in any language?
Do we really need so many versions? Are they all actually demanded and used?
In particular, do we really need the simplified characters versions? I am especially reluctant about using private-use codes.

Then I guess we can forget about the less-used Simplified Han-Latin script written languages.

OK, I guess that these are valid examples of usage in the real world, but are all of them actually expected to be used for localization or content in the Wikimedia?
I cannot think of any other language in the Wikimedia world that has so many varieties.
Hi @Winston_Sung, just a follow-up to a suggestion you made and this comment from @Amire80. I think it's best if maybe we go ahead with the more popularly spoken Han-Latin script in order for localization to begin for this writing system and if there are future requests for its variants, we can include them as requested.
