Subject: Move defaults toward ICU in 16?
Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2023 05:13:16 -0800
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)


As a project, do we want to nudge users toward ICU as the collation
provider as the best practice going forward?

If so, is version 16 the right time to adjust defaults to favor ICU?

  * At build time, default to --with-icu (-Dicu=enabled); users who
    don't want ICU can specify --without-icu (-Dicu=disabled/auto)
  * At initdb time, default to --locale-provider=icu if built with
    ICU support

If we don't want to nudge users toward ICU, is it because we are
waiting for something, or is there a lack of consensus that ICU is
actually better?

Regards,
	Jeff Davis
