Related bug 24574. I suppose we would have to add a sortkey field to other
various table.

I think that was partially out of concern for php installs without the intl
extension installed (So uca collation would not work). Since changing the
collation requires running a maintenance script, if we just checked that the
relevant class existed to determine which collation to use, and then someone
upgraded their php so intl was suddenly present, things would become screwed
up. (Or that's what I assumed the reasoning was. I could be wrong)

Perhaps making the value $wgCategoryCollation consider anything past uca to be
the locale. For example it would consider the value of "uca-foo" to use
IcuCollation( 'foo' ) as the Collation class.
