Yes.  Brithenig is a classic, and apart from researching new words,
it ought to be kept the way it is.  Any substantial change to its
phonology or grammar would cause a major upheaval with the Ill
Bethisad community and is not worth the trouble.

A friend of a friend of mine once said, "Art is when someone says
'Now'."  There is a point in most works of art when the artist
declares it finished and refrains from further additions.  Art
always means to choose what to do and what NOT to do.
