With all that in mind, I have wanted to kick a discussion about potentially removing one or more encodings from the core code, including the backend part, the frontend part and the conversion routines, coupled with checks in pg_upgrade to complain with database or collations include the so-said encoding (the collation part needs to be checked when not using ICU). Just being able to removing GB18030 would do us a favor in the long-term, at least, but there's more.
+1 at high level for deprecating and removing conversions that are not widely used anymore. As the first step, we can at least add a warning to the documentation, that they will be removed in the future.
