So (IMHO) the only valid reasons for choosing a UTF-8 based locale are:
1. RedHat compatibility at the cost of incompatibility with everyone
else (including MS Windows):
* Need to share files via NFS with systems that already use UTF-8
locales and can't be reconfigured
* Need to ssh often into systems that already use UTF-8 locales, and
rarely to systems that don't.
* Need to work mainly with UTF-8 encoded text documents, i.e. those
coming from people using RedHat systems
2. Just being adventurous (I think this applies to you).
Forgot:
3. The need to run a NFS4 server. This requires storing filenames in UTF-8.
