You may, but you give no evidence or discussion about it, so...

In any case it’s not a disunification. Some characters are encoded; they were 
used to write diphthongs in 1855. These characters were abandoned by 1859, and 
other characters were devised. The origin of all of the characters as ligatures 
of other characters isn’t questioned. The right thing to do is to add the 
missing characters, not to invalidate any font that uses the 1855 characters by 
claiming that the 1855 and 1859 characters are “the same”.
