As you are probably uploading CVE fixes soon I want to remind you of this request. It would very much help with creating tiny root file systems that have libxml2 in them. My request to join the team has not been answered, so I have to rely on you to make the change. Thanks, Bastian

This adds an otherwise useless, multi-megabyte dependency (larger than libxml2 itself). I propose to revert that change. This means that libxml2 will use iconv for character conversion as before. I'm sure that the Chromium issues can be worked around in another way. I'm also disappointed that the Chromium developers never reached out to the libxml2 maintainers. I second this request. Alternatively, it would be great to have a build profile that excludes ICU.
