I am actually working on an update, but it is indeed not easy at all
and a lot of work.
https://www.iso.org/standard/68309.html
has a newer version of ISO/IEC 14651:2016
downloadable from:
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html
And one can download this:
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c068309_ISO_IEC_14651_2016_Electronic_inserts.zip
Which contains a file named
ISO14651_2015_TABLE1_en.txt
which can be used as an update for our
localedata/locales/iso14651_t1_common file
But the collation symbols in the new file have changed a lot
and many adaptations in LC_COLLATE in many of our locales
are necessary, many of them a bit complicated.
I think this is the right way to go though, and I made
good progress so far, so I am quite confident now that
I can do this.
