+ <para>
+ The ordering defined by a collation is not necessarily fixed over time.
+ If a collation changes for any reason, persistent data structures such as
+ b-trees that depend on a stable ordering of text might be corrupted.
+ <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> defends against this by recording
+ the current version of each referenced collation for any index that
+ depends on it in the
+ <link linkend="catalog-pg-depend"><structname>pg_depend</structname></link>
+ catalog, if the collation provider makes it available. If the provider
+ later begins to report a different version, a warning will be issued
+ when the index is accessed, until either the <xref linkend="sql-reindex"/>
+ or the <xref linkend="sql-alterindex"/> command is used to update the
+ version.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Version information is available for collations from the
+ <literal>icu</literal> provider on all operating systems. For the
+ <literal>libc</literal> provider, versions are currently only available
+ on systems using the GNU C library (most Linux systems).
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ When using the GNU C library for collations, the C library's version
+ is used as a proxy for the collation version. Many Linux distributions
+ change collation definitions only when upgrading the C library, but this
+ approach is imperfect as maintainers are free to back-port newer
+ collation definitions to older C library releases.

You may want to be careful with this, and I don't know if anybody is
using that for serious cases so some spots may have been missed.
