Yes, I agree with it.  But it is also about the community contributions.
 If
1. a language is under soft limit for several releases,
2. a language is warned for several times and announced about to be kicked
out from KDE framework,
3. nobody cares about it (therefore nobody is coming out to "save" it)  <--
the most important

does KDE have to keep this language anymore?  Even a language is kicked
out, if anyone decides to save the language, they can do it any time and
the language will be restored in the next release.

zh_TW Traditional Chinese used to be warned once before I become the
coordinator... Fortunately there were several people coming out to save
zh_TW from being kicked out.

BTW, maybe in the supported language list we can also list the languages
which used to be in KDE Framework but then kicked out due to lack of
maintain, so that anyone who cares about the language can know and do
something.
