ICU has a new major upstream release, supporting several new things that I would like to see in Stretch: - CLDR[1] 28 [2] and 29 [3] support, - Unicode 8.0.0 [4] support. As it affects the system from Boost C++ libraries (several packages build depends on it) to LibreOffice, it's not uploaded to experimental even. But my local build tests on amd64 shows that Boost 1.58 could be built and transiently some packages that build depends on Boost. The biggest one is LibreOffice which could be built of course. In short, I compiled ICU 57.1 and installed it -> compiled and installed Boost 1.58 -> successfully compiled LibreOffice 5.1.2~RC1. May I proceed with the upload, targeting experimental first?
