Sorry, by "unsupported" I meant he previously reasonable German quotation marks have been turned into ones that no German speaker thinks are acceptable. > I don't recall saying that a mention in the release notes is > inappropriate or unacceptable.

Ok, so how about we articulate problems might occur? Perhaps we should have a file about it, b/c we shouldn't put more than a single paragraph in the release notes in my opinion. Perhaps you could write down some of the more frequent problems that users with UTF-8 might expect to see (especially any actual bugs you know of; you suggested there were some but I may have misunderstood), and this could be included.
