Has the possibility of getting rid of language flags ever been considered, and if yes, what was the final decision (if there was one)? I believe the ISO codes will do a better job.
Obviously, inspired by the Impersonator's post about the Belarusian flag, just didn't want to rain on his parade mentioning another possibility there, as these are two separate topics.
This idea is brought up from time to time, and it's usually dismissed. Here're what Trang says:

I personally don't like ISO codes because they're in Latin script, which is not really neutral.
Thanks. So, basically, proposed and dismissed.
