I am saying that pg_upgrade should be able to deal with the difference. The details of how to implement that, don't matter that much. FWIW, I don't think it matters much what collation template0 has, since we allow to change the locale provider when using template0 as the template. We could easily update template0, if we think that's necessary. But I don't think it really is. As long as the newly created databases have the right provider, I'd lean towards not touching template0. But whatever... Greetings, Andres Freund
