Hi Shane, I didn't see a reply on-list, perhaps there is a thread in the background. Thank you for reaching out, and in case you haven't had a response, Dean will know the right person to consider the matter. It's late but not *that* late, the question will really be backwards compatibility and testing given that the current libicu63 has 140 things that depend on it. Given your comments on stability, that seems a reasonable thing to consider.
