To be clear: do you mean it fixes it *for the characters in the Unicode
version supported by these updated collation data*? Or globally for all
characters including those not yet defined or too new for that collation
data?
In the various cases where collation data has been changed locally since
the previous import from ISO 14651, are those local changes all obsoleted
by subsequent changes to the ISO 14651 collation data?
