I get that.

I'd assume that egregious, demonstrable errors, such as misspelled
character names or incorrect individual code points, could be reported,
and anything beyond that probably should not.

I get that. I am FAR more comfortable with that

My point is that of J.S. Choi and Janusz Bień: the problem with
declaring NamesList off-limits is that it does contain information
that is either:
• not available in any other UCD file, or
• available, but only in comments (like the MAS mappings),
U+23FF is already assigned to OBSERVER EYE SYMBOL, which is
already under ballot for 10646 (and approved by the UTC).

is the term "exponentially" really appropriate ? the NamesList file is not
so large, and the grow would remain linear.
Anyway, this file (current CSV format or XML format) does not need to be
part of the core UCD files, they can be in a separate download for people
needing it.
