Indeed, I had not considered this issue during the RFC process. Thanks for bringing it up. > My immediate thought is to simply bump the ICU version requirement, > but I have no idea what kind of an impact that would have. * ICU 4.0 has been released on 2008-07-02 * ICU 4.6 has been released on 2010-12-02 * ext/intl requires at least ICU 4.0 as of PHP 5.5.0 (released 2013-06-20) Considering these release dates, it appears to be okay to require at least ICU 4.6 as of PHP 7.2.2. -- Christoph M.
