+1 for "make UTF-8 capability the default". If that means we need to use man-db + BDB, I have no problem with that. But if others do take issue with adding those packages, then I'm also OK with waiting a couple months until plain old man and groff work in UTF-8. (Note that I haven't yet missed not having UTF-8 support; I use US-ASCII for about everything anyway. But I do realize how much of an issue it's getting to be, and I want a system that will work with UTF-8-charset files (and manpages, etc.) by default. If nothing else, so I can test the i18n that I'm doing to the few programs I write.) (Copied to cross-lfs also; I'm not sure if this will matter over there or not, but oh well.)
