I don't know, how about
--invalidation of all existing data that uses this old Zhuang orthography,
--no obvious benefit to the user community (not that there is a big
user community since the orthography has now been superseded),
--no request for disunification from the representatives of the user
community (i.e. China).
At any rate, if you want to take this further you will need to read
Annex F "Formal criteria for disunification" of the Principles and
Procedures document
<http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/wg2/docs/n3102.pdf>
and assess the costs and benefits of disunification in this case.
