693-3 was one of the sources of codes used to form subtags in the
"bulk update" 4645bis.

This happens on ietf-languages@iana.org, as a function of the language
subtag reviewer.  See 4646bis section 3.4 (12) (B) and surrounding material.
BTW, these sections show some of the long-standing tension in the work between
the desire for stability and for maintaining alignment.
