Nope that constraint is also relied upon. I guess people who are doing
manual imports can change the length constraint in the database at their own
risk.

Bug description:
Having the shortname field in the database limited to only 25 characters makes it hard to import facilities (especially in combination with the other constraints of NOT NULL and UNIQUE (the latter should be removed, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/dhis2/+bug/370791).

If we do want to limit the lengths of shortnames users can enter, this should be an administrative setting.
