Cool! :-)

The Julia v1.6 update introduce a tweak to master: utf8proc-2.6.1 [1]
and pcre2-10.36 [2] to avoid a world rebuild.  AFAIK, their update in
core-updates branch is not done.  At least, I have never sent the patch.

The package Julia v1.6 depends on these 2 packages.  The question
becomes if the Julia v1.6 is merged before and after the freeze?

Could you give an input about the location of patches?  See [3].  Thanks
in advance.
