No, please. OOo 2.4.1 would simply reject it in configure. Could be patched, but I don't feel to change ICU version that late in the release cycle anyway.. 3.0 snapshots (should) build with icu 4.0 (The changes were done, I am not yet sure whether they already got integrated, will check and backport them if necessary) Note that we're (if you take the official schedule) in library freeze anyway...
