Does include ICU mean that collation handling is identical across platforms? E.g. a query on Linux involving string comparison would yield the same result on MacOS and Windows?
Yes, it does and that's the most important issue for us.
If that is the case I'm all for it.
Currently the different behaviour in handling collation aware string comparisons is a bug in my eyes from a user's perspective. I do understand and can accept the technical reasons for that, but it still feels odd that a query yields different results (with identical data) just because it runs on a different platform.
