True. System-wide UTF-8 can cause problems with legacy software, but starting
with Windows 11 such software can specify a non-UTF8 activeCodePage for itself:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sbscs/application-manifests#activeCodePage.

"Set active code page to UTF-8 on Windows" is a separate patch, independent 
from all others:

If it's deemed to be too problematic, the rest of the patchset can simply be 
merged without it.
