"Cut off" in what way?  Nobody is prevented from writing "ko-Hang" or 
"ko-Hani" or anything else.

The goal is to reflect reality in usage, and that will probably come 
down to whether the list agrees with me that "alias for Hangul + Han" 
refers to a principle of the writing system, and not a promise that the 
text must contain at least one Hangul character and at least one Han 
character.

Users in South Korea (and the United States) tend to use more Hanja than 
users in North Korea.
