Note: I am not saying I am absolutely against UTF-8 support being the

No, they are stating that they haven't been paying attention and thereby
are scared that they are going to have to use utf8 instead of their
preferred locale. IOW, they are ignorant of the facts.
I thought that the concern was that having UTF-8 support might take
extra resources that are wasted and unnecessary if you never use it. I
wasn't thinking that anybody here was actually ignorant enough to think
that having support for UTF-8 forces you to use it.
