Make collations have a version number in them
Removing task assignee due to inactivity, as this open task has been assigned to the same person for more than two years (see the emails sent to the task assignee on Oct27 and Nov23). Please assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically [plan to] work on this task - it would be welcome.
(See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Assignee_cleanup for tips how to best manage your individual work in Phabricator.)
FYI, this is no longer blocked as the categorylinks.cl_collation column is now VARBINARY(64), so it should be able to accommodate both the collation name and version number. Time to revisit https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/272419? It's only been 9 years. Should be easy to rebase ;)
