I'm fine with that.  Sounds like it wouldn't be too hard to just pull it out at the end.

Before this, I didn't even know ICU existed in PG15. My first realization that ICU was even a thing was when my PG16 refused to compile without adding my ICU path to my pkg-config or putting in --without-icu.

So yah I suspect leaving it in a little bit longer will uncover some more issues and won't harm too much.

Thanks,
Regina
