So would you have RuleBasedBreakIterator renamed

Ideally we would yes, while they are less common and less aimed to be
seen as part of another API.
I find it very hard to believe that "BreakIterator" is "a very
common name", but I'm open to evidence that points otherwise. This
argument
could maybe be made for 'Transliterator', which was added in 5.4.
Transliterator is not confusing as "BreakIterator", sorry.
You removed the quoting that provided context, but I was responding to
your claim that it was a "very common name" and that you "suspected
naming conflicts might happen".
But in fact "Transliterator" is much more confusing than
"BreakIterator". In fact, the name "Transliterator" is an ICU artifact
of the past, that module is now called "Text Transformation" as it
provides a generic text transformation API, not specifically for
transliteration.
