Right, I didn't know that. From that old bug report it sounded like a programmer should be able to select a specific UCD version.

Well, my comment was that IDNA needs to access 3.2. This isn't as general as "any application needs to access any version". We likely drop 3.2 when IDNA stops using it, and we likely drop 4.1 when moving to 5.0. Of course, now the infrastructure is there for keeping old versions efficiently, so if compelling reasons are brought forward to keep an old version, it would be possible.
