OK, so it sounds like the best way forward is: 1. For any wikis that have specific language versions of uca collation available (for example, uca-fr), but haven't yet switched to it, go ahead and switch them to that collation. This should take care of a few dozen wikis.
2. Start a discussion on Meta wiki about potentially changing the default collation from uppercase to uca-default and (hopefully) find out if this would cause any problems or if there are wikis that would want to opt out (or if it's just a bad idea in general). Does that sound reasonable to everyone?
