Neither, please! A short key may be as unique as a long one. For a
simple example, consider what a "tiny URL" service does to long URLs.
For a complex one, consider various compression encoding schemes that
assign just a few bits to commonly found long patterns.
In general, if there is a valid use case for something, we should not
complain by default. Our cache.log is already full of information-hiding
noise.
Thank you,
Alex.
