Have you read any of our innumerable previous discussions about this?
The last one was barely a month ago, cf
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/ACF85C502E55A143AB9F4ECFE960660A17282D%40mailserver2.local.mstarlabs.com

(somehow the thread got broken in two in the archives)

The short answer is that nobody can see a way to modify the identifier
case-folding rules that isn't going to add more pain than it subtracts.
And much of the added pain will be felt by people who aren't getting
any benefit, who will therefore be vociferously against the whole thing.
