What causes the tremendous amount of rebuilds when a new version of ICU is released?
It always seems to be a problem and takes weeks before it seemingly disappears on its own…

ICU is a Unicode support library. As such, it tends to be looped into any program or library that needs to do things like figure out the length of a piece of text in character glyphs. Which is a lot of programs and libraries, including some monsters like boost and qt that are picky about their dep versioning.
