Yes, that sounds reasonable :-)

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?

Fy is not on the list at
https://ssl.icu-project.org/trac/browser/icu/trunk/source/data/coll?order=name
. As a general rule any language not on that list that does something
that
either conflicts with english, or has something complicated (such as
having
letters with diacretics being considered a full letter to be sorted
seperately (in the terminology of UCA having a primary weight
difference) )
will probably not work fully correctly with the uca collation. Of
course
uca-default still might be a better fallback then the current system
depending on the language.
