Newest version 14 image size #151

Hi! Thanks for all the hard work!

I use the image and could not understand why 14 was sustainally bigger in size compared to previous versions.

That lead me down to https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6860 which then lead me to understand ICU.

14 now includes full-icu compared to before where small-icu was included only.

I am split between whether i want to have the full icu included in my small apps or not. Consistentsy is key, but the new image is much bigger.

You can exclude it if you like by compiling your own build, but I'm unlikely to include a separate version anytime soon given the overhead maintenance of it

Make sense, it was also to notify other people looking into this 👍

It is a big chance going from 42 mb to 73 mb is a 73 % increase in size.
