 > @extendwings As I see it is an IDN domain name patch.

 Yes, and this ticket is about IDN domains (see the description).

 > My mu-plugin handles non-ascii characters in the post slug (the URL
 path)

 Looks like your plugin just disables half of `remove_accents()` for slugs.
 There are probably use cases for that, but the function is there for a
 reason, so I don't think we want to do that in core. It also doesn't
 appear to resolve the `wp_sanitize_redirect()` issue mentioned here.
