It is a very long standing lesson when working with computers
that in case there is a tradeoff between a more stable and
a more compact solution, it's in most cases, and definitely
in the long term, much better to take the more stable and
simpler one. The Y2K problem is the best example, but there
are many other ones.

I don't see any unfair disadvantage. Both in Latin and in Han/Hangul,
it's already possible to make names longer than really useful.
To say that overly long names have been cut off at a different
point for Latin and for Han or Hangul may be true, but it is
rather irrelevant. And even with the most advanced compression,
we will never be able to make sure that we are completely fair
to everybody.
