To clarify, new national flags will still be added to the standard in line with changes to ISO 3166. So new countries will (as I understand it) still receive flags. This seems like a reasonable compromise, though it’s not without its risks either.
But I agree generally that the addition of flags was, in retrospect, an unfortunate outcome.
