Not really. Look at the third entry at
http://www.helsinki.fi/~tasalmin/Forest_Nenets_short_i_1.jpg , where
the two occur side-by-side. Unification should depend on their being
contextual variants or one another, and difficult in laying down rules
is the justification for U+017F LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S being a
separate character.
