[Pkg-isocodes-devel] Deprecated codes in ISO-639-2?

[Christian Perrier]

A change happened on Nov. 3rd in ISO 639-2:

From http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_changes.php, the
mo and mol are now deprecated:

"The identifiers mo and mol are deprecated, leaving ro and ron
(639-2/T) and rum (639-2/B) the current language identifiers to be
used for the variant of the Romanian language also known as Moldavian
and Moldovan in English and moldave in French. The identifiers mo and
mol will not be assigned to different items, and recordings using
these identifiers will not be invalid."

However, in our XML file, we have no field to indicate whether a
given entry is marked as deprecated.

Therefore, I propose that we add a new optional field to mark entries
as deprecated, but not remove them.
