There should be only one set of build instructions, and identical binaries. No optional appendix with commands. All differences between UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 installations should be in the /etc directory.
I give a +1 now. The support issues alone, such as "I built non-utf8, how can I add it now?", are enough to make me want it default on. The alternative solutions, such as an appendix, won't solve this support issue either. Having two separate books seems like a waste. For now, Alexander's implementation seems the best balance between breaking 8bit locales and no utf-8. In the future as upstream fixes more issues, we can change the method and perhaps remove man-db and bdb, to make those who resist it happier.
