That sounds reasonable.
I propose that, going forward, we take more care with Unicode updates:
assess the impact, provide time for comments, and consider possible
mitigations. In other words, it would be reviewed like any other
change.
Ideally, some new developments would make it less worrisome, and
Unicode updates could become more routine. I have some ideas, which I
can propose in separate threads. But for now, I don't see a reason to
rush Unicode updates.
