Comment (by dd32):

 I'll copy a reply from #39507 to here for future discussion:

 > Worth noting that `comment_type` and `post_type` are both `VARCHAR(20)`
 while taxonomy is `VARCHAR(32)`.
 >
 > I'm not sure I see benefit in these fields being longer, they're
 designed as a short unique grouping of objects.
