However, just out of interest, is there a brief rationale from those involved in UTC as to why that separation of Greek and Coptic is a "good thing"

while any proposal to add a Cyrillic Q and W, and to have a separate sequence for Georgian Nuskhuri letters (as well as for the existing Georgian Mkhedruli letters and Georgian Asomtavruli letters) would be a "bad thing"?Mostly it has to do with inertia and attachment to earlier (false) unifications. Having said that, it remains for appropriate papers to be written to convince the hard-liners of the wisdom of these disunifications. That takes time and effort.
