Hi,
Sorry for the late entry into the discussion. I am
comfortable with making the changelog UTF-8 only, but file names in
pure UTF-8 perhaps is premature. (मनोज्.conf, anyone?). Indeed,
until we have a wider deployment of a font that has a decent
coverage of UTF-8 glyphs (haw many of y'all can read ሰማይ አይታረስ ንጉሥ
አይከሰስ። ?), perhaps we should stick to pure ascii file names, if we
must have policy take a stance about file names at all?
That is not saying anything about programs that deal with
file names having widechar and encoding support, etc. I feel, as
integrators, we must follow, rather than lead, the majority of the
producers of the software components we integrate.

capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice
and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem
child could become a wonder child. Dr. Albert Hoffman, the discoverer
