That's a different point.
The goal of the KLI is to promote the language, but not to create new
words. But I'm sure, if there were some kind of committee, it would be
inside the core of the KLI and in cooperation with Okrand, we could find
a way to officially set up some kind of new source for Klingon words.
Another reason for the language being "stuck" as someone mentioned is
the reason of the licensing. Nobody is allowed to publish anything about
klingon without a licence. That's why there is so few about it.

That would be indeed. But that sounds all theoretical and will not
happen, as you said.
