Haitian Creole ht is erroneously being reported as "modern coverage" because its parent locale fr_HT is technically fully populated (since that, in turn, inherits from fr)

See the incorrect characterization in the v47 charts https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/47/supplemental/locale_coverage.html#ht

The quickest way to register the language as not submitted is to just remove the parent locale.

Just for the paper trail; we sometimes use cross-language inheritance where the users of the inheriting language are used to seeing intermixed data from the inherited language, and it would be better for them to see that than than nothing (or English). However, that can mask the true coverage of the inheriting language both in the ST, and in the charts and coverage text file (causing implementations to misread how fleshed out it is). So we need some way to fix that. Cf @AEApple

Oh thanks -- yes you are completely right. It was better to fix the way inheritance computed coverage level and not extra difficult.
