Agreed. I did not read the whole thread (yet), but if this is something like
tzdata, I would personally want to use the libuci supplied by OS, like we do
for tzdata.

(That said, just checked EDB's ICU support. We currently ship our own libicu
there, as a part of EPAS, but I don't know the reasoning/history behind there.)
