Thanks for your feedback.

I'm not expert in this, but I understand from the web that the codes 
zh_CN, zh_TW, zh_HK are old codes and should be replaced by the new 
ones. I found multiple sources, the most relevant ones are:
https://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-html-tech-lang/#h2_langvalues
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt
And the replacement rule is also in the CLDR:
https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/ed7854cb6209678739712854a2df1cac732be540/common/supplemental/supplementalMetadata.xml#L177

I'm not sure why we should keep to the old notation in this context, can 
you please share your concerns?

I assume this may impact for us, I'll see with:
* the Weblate team how to proceed for existing projects using zh_CN so 
work is not lost
* the Fedora i18n team to see how this may impact Fedora as an operating 
system

While this doesn't bother me to do so, this triggers a question we 
should face: what should be the criteria to decide a language code is or 
isn't allowed in our translation platform?
Remove it from the list of language prevents someone to translate in 
these languages, and selecting available ones is something I would like 
not to be responsible of.

Are these like FR, FR_BE, FR_CA, FR_CH, very close relatives and almost 
never used?

I did not understand this, sorry
