Andrew, the issue is , when they do not use IDN tables, which are allowed, the situation where some symbols are not used correctly might arise over time. P.s: As for Russian Cyrillic LGR we have found no mistakes there.

As I understand all IDN tables, which passed 2012 application round are to be allowed to use despite any changes in LGR (it was the part of the discussion when LGRs were established).
Correct. But some people are updating in line with LGR tools already -- particularly when their communities are sensitive to the issues of general-purpose domains and need conflicting uses of the same script. This applies (for instance) to Han, certainly Latin and Arabic, and probably Cyrillic (and maybe even Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek, though I know of nobody who's been that careful yet).
The previous "variants" approach derived from the JET work made the distinction between "blocked" and "allocatable" less plain than it is now, and the inter-writing-system effects of characters is also now plainer and so easier to represent. The JET approach worked quite well for CJK when used in relative isolation, but has limitations when applied more generally, which is why the new approach was worked out.
