"Let's not fix it" is really not an acceptable answer, because the
behavior in the affected locales is entirely broken (inconsistent,
etc). And how do you know which locales are affected, anyway?

(Also, to be blunt, the COLLATE feature is pie in the sky until it
is done and supports indexes --- which I'm not sure you even know
how to do yet. I'm not prepared to assume it will be in 8.2.)
