Specifically, I know several places where there are very-long-prefixed-class-INSTANCE families, and I'd want to know whether these are "rare". I suspect not, I think that's a pretty common practice in naming families of manifest constants. OTOH, Customize already generally strips group prefixes. That might be enough here, it may not often matter because abbreviation is rare.
