This issue was finally fixed in ICU 79, which came out a few days ago.
I have confirmed that the PostgreSQL issue is fixed with that new version.
The question now is whether there is anything else we want to do about this?
0. Do nothing. Leave the ICU bug and possibly this email as reference
and recommend that users don't use the affected kinds of ICU locales
with the affected older ICU versions.
I like option 0. It can't be incumbent on us to provide defenses
for every bug in every piece of software that we depend on ...
especially not edge-case bugs like this one seems to be.
Ok. This email thread can serve as something to point to if this comes
up again.
