Hi,

that's a pity. However, I would like to postpone this change until after
the release, in case we need to upload iso-codes to fix an RC bug. I
guess that uploading again before the release is quite unlikely, but
still ...

That's also the reason why I haven't released a new version of
iso-codes, although we have some translation updates waiting.

So my advice would be to wait until the release.

Regards,
Tobias
