I'll add that, while 100% may be a good goal, it hasn't been the
standard in the past. You're talking about a new standard of
immutability starting in 18, and as Peter pointed out, I don't think
Unicode updates are the only thing we need to consider.
My personal opinion is that both positions -- to upgrade Unicode or not
-- are a bit exaggerated. On the one hand, there's no urgency to
updating Unicode; but on the other hand, there's not a huge danger, at
least compared with our historical standards.
