    regex-tdfa, a very popular library, is buggy (e.g. here) despite claiming that "This regex-tdfa package implements, correctly, POSIX extended regular expressions [and your OS likely doesn't]"; its bugs very likely won't be fixed despite the fact that the library is still maintained

    Until now, the only way to do proper Unicode sorting in Haskell was to depend on text-icu, which wraps the C library icu4c. However, there are disadvantages to depending on an external C library. In addition, the last release of text-icu was in 2015, and since then there have been changes to icu4c that cause build-failures, as noted in this issue.

    text-icu occasionally breaks horribly and nondeterministically (1, 2) despite being praised by SOTU
