Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:11 ryandesign]:

 > Since libidn's IDN processing is based on the obsolete IDN2003 standard,
 and libidn2 exists to cover the newer IDN2008 standard

 Sounds to me like a case of "no user serviceable parts inside" (aka
 fingers off) if you have no idea what that means and/or if you don't know
 exactly what your port uses the library for (including possible side-
 effects the code turns out to rely on)...

 (And I'd use a similar consideration before reporting the use of an old
 version of a standard as a bug.)
