I believe Ulrich's aim is to avoid all kinds of fringe variations plaguing
glibc locale database. If only small minority uses be_BY@tarask, it should be
distributed separately. If only small minority would use current be_BY,
be_BY@tarask maybe should just be entered as be_BY. If there is rough
equilibrium between the two groups (which you seem to indicate), I would say
there is a value in having this. (The only real argument in this bug seemed to
be about the naming, which seems to have been resolved in the IANA scope.)

Can you somehow show that the equilibrium is the case? E.g. are there
(pre-existing) Wikipedia articles about this, other notable sources (e.g. major
newspaper articles) or such?
