I mean, if a shared library has 1-2 users, we can still live with it being in constant flux, but for a widely used shared library stable public ABI is really important. Note, e.g. texlive hasn't been rebuilt yet in rawhide, it is broken for more than 2 days now, which e.g. blocks building gcc and thus a F21 mass rebuild.

FWIW the icu version is tied to the version of the unicode standard it implements.

Everything else that does not FTBFS has been rebuilt.

Part of the problem is ICU has C++ ABI, changes in classes' vtables have to force recompilation of depending packages, unless virtual methods are only appended and never inserted. The dependency on supported Unicode version data was already mentioned by Caolan. Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
