Do you have a sketch of what the ideal Unicode version management
experience might look like? Very high level, like "this is what happens
by default during an upgrade" and "this is how a user discovers that
that they might want to update Uniocde", etc.

What ways can/should we nudge users to update more quickly, if at all,
so that they are less likely to have problems with newly-assigned code
points?

And, if possible, how we might extend this user experience to libc or
ICU updates?
