[RMT hat, personal opinion on RMT]
To be clear, is the proposal to remove both "check_strxfrm_bug" and
"TRUST_STRXFRM"?
Given a bunch of folks who have expertise in this area of code all agree
with removing the above as part of the collation cleanups targeted for
v16, I'm inclined to agree. I don't really see the need for an explicit
RMT action, but based on the consensus this seems OK to add as an open item.
Thanks,
Jonathan
