Thanks a lot! I'm fine with all the changes. The "stable collation
order" part would definitely benefit from more thoughts, so it's good
if we can focus on that later.
While reviewing the changes, I found a couple of minor issues
(inherited from the previous versions). It's missing a
free_objects_addresses in recordDependencyOnCollations, and there's a
small typo. Inline diff:

Other than that it all looks good to me!
