If you are proposing that Unicode updates should not be performed if
they affect the results of any IMMUTABLE function, then that's a new
policy.

For instance, the results of NORMALIZE() changed from PG15 to PG16 due
to commit 1091b48cd7:

  SELECT NORMALIZE(U&'\+01E030',nfkc)::bytea;

  Version 15: \xf09e80b0

  Version 16: \xd0b0

I am neither endorsing nor opposing the new policy you propose at this
time, but deep in the sub-thread of one particular feature is not the
right place to discuss it.

Please start a new thread for the proposed PG18 policy change and CC
me. I happen to think that around the release of the next version of
Unicode (in a couple months) would be the most productive time to have
that discussion, but you can start the discussion now if you like.
