I have an ITP, #1101486, for the icu4x stack, which is basically the 
crates in your MR, then some, but as a single source package. It'd be a 
better organization, including the benefit of one source package 
building all binary ones, avoiding the turmoil of one-by-one uploads and 
builds, and avoiding 7 NEW trips.

If you really want them to be in *now*, I won't stop you from uploading 
them. But since we are in the freeze, I guess it's not that urgent. So 
I'd appreciate some patience and, if possible, help with the single 
source package effort.

You should be able to assume no practical difference between the 1:1 
packages you already built, or the 1:N packages the drafted src:icu4x 
will build, in test builds of, in your case, matrix-synapse.
