"Greek" instead of "Greek, Modern (1453-)"

[Savvas Radevic]

Hello, my name is Savvas Radevic. I found the contact emails here:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/
No modern language has "Modern" in its description. This causes confusion
between users of iso639-2.

For example, English:
English English anglais engen  English, Middle (1100-1500) English, Middle
(1100-1500) anglais moyen (1100-1500) enm   English, Old (ca.450-1100) English,
Old (ca.450-1100) anglo-saxon (ca.450-1100) ang
..and French:
French French français fre/frafr  French, Middle (ca.1400-1600) French,
Middle (ca.1400-1600) français moyen (1400-1600) frm   French, Old
(842-ca.1400) French, Old (842-ca.1400) français ancien (842-ca.1400) fro
However, Greek:
Greek, Ancient (to 1453) Greek, Ancient (to 1453) grec ancien (jusqu'à 1453)
grc   Greek, Modern (1453-) Greek, Modern (1453-) grec moderne (après 1453)
gre/ellel
as listed in:

I trust that my voice will be heard and appreciated. I represent a
free/open source community (www.ubuntu-gr.org) that wants to fix this
error. Here are some bug reports:
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=30316&atid=413077&func=detail&aid=312565

We propose "Greek, Modern (1453-)" to be written as just "Greek", as it
happens in other languages (such as English and French).
