Acceptance, I'd say IDN is a must nowadays.
To be clear, I am not completely against including IDN in libcurl-minimal.
On the other hand, we removed IDN from libcurl in ubi9 images in September
and nobody has complained about it so far:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1994521
Isn't this also a bit of chicken and egg problem? You can't really use
IDN since tooling doesn't support it and tooling doesn't support it
because nobody uses it.
I'll note that personally I have no need for IDN.
