Letters in some scripts are a class of two or more characters. Usually, all
letters have the same number of such case variants. Rarely, characters may be
constituents of different letters within the same script. A closed set of
letters, usually with a canonical sort order, makes an alphabet.
True but this only applies to "simple case mappings" (those in the main
datatase), not to extended mappings (which are locale dependant, such as
mappings for dotted and undotted i in Turkish).
So the extended mappings can perfectly be changed for German: they are not
part of the stability policy
