Hi folks,

Just a heads up that CLDR is changing a number of its structures impacting ICU, 
and both CLDR alpha and ICU dev are available for testing "some significant

http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-39

The ICU repo requires git lfs installed and it does not appear to be packaged 
yet.

https://github.com/unicode-org/icu

Also Unicode 14 alpha is available for review as they are changing some of their 
attributes and uses on code points:

Thanks for the heads up.  If there are significant migration issues, I probably 
won't package icu-69 right away when it's released.  Cygwin is already ahead of 
Fedora Rawhide, which is still on icu-67.
