Yeah, C locale will work with any encoding, for small values of "work"
--- one problem is that you get byte-by-byte sorting which doesn't act
all that sensibly in a lot of encodings, and another is that
upper()/lower() only work for the base ASCII letters.
I gather that this behavior is just fine with a lot of the Far Eastern
contingent, though you'd have to ask them for details. In any case
you should not second-guess such a configuration during upgrade.
People do use it.
