By that I understand that CREATE DATABASE is limited to copying a template database and then not write anything into it beyond that, as it's not even connected to it. I guess there's still the possibility of requiring that the ICU db-wide collation of the new database does exist in the template database, and then the CREATE DATABASE would refer to that collation instead of an independent locale string.
