Look at the wanted section in the newspaper. Many mainframe programmers are wanted. By your attitude, nobody would need Mainframe programmers in the 21th Century. Currently Debian's default is non-unicode and most people don't use unicode filenames. Yes, it might be (or might not be) different in 2006, but even then a minority would still use non-unicode filenames, and adding a feature to support them is not such a bad idea. - Oren ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
