No, not all of them are frozen.  Unfortunately, the one you care about
(LC_COLLATE) is.  The reason for this is that it determines index
ordering for textual columns, and so changing LC_COLLATE on the fly
produces instant corrupt indexes :-(

A solution for this is on the TODO list, but don't hold your breath ...
