Estonian collation: v ≠ w ?

CLDR Estonian collation treats v and w as the same letter, with only a
second-level difference (as between s and ſ [long s]).
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/6701 says they should be different. The
Estonian-language sources and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_orthography seem to agree.
W is not a letter of the Estonian alphabet. It is used to write foreign
words and place names, like "Würzburg".
This seems to be like in Finnish, where the default collation has changed
away from treating v and w as the same letter.
Anyone opposed?
