It's entirely plausible that comment is far from exhaustive; reviewing
changes from the git logs for that file (and iso14651_t1 from which it was
split out) would be a good idea as well. But knowing those listed in the
comment are obsoleted is a very good start.
How automated is the process of getting from the ISO 14651 data to what
will be the new version of this file (and iso14651_t1_pinyin, I'm not sure
how that relates to ISO 14651 data either)? It's desirable to have a
clear definition, as automated as possible, of how the glibc file relates
to the original source, to reduce the manual work involved in making
future updates.
