<div class="moz-cite-prefix">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.<br>

<div>I'm a member of the ICU TC (International Components for
Unicode). Developers frequently get ICU from the apt-get
package "libicu-dev".</div>

<div>We have a special ICU release coming out in March/April,
ICU 66. This release is "special" because it has an emphasis
on stability and compatibility with ICU 65, released in
October, except that it also includes the latest Unicode 13
standard, which will be released around the same time. Our
plan with ICU 66 is so that platforms like Android can adopt
this release in a relatively late stage with minimal
disruption.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to ask whether Ubuntu 20.04 would also consider
picking up ICU 66 as libicu-dev. Since it is an LTS release,
users would benefit from having Unicode 13 available in their
server applications over the lifetime of Ubuntu 20.04.</div>
