And Fedora switched to UTF-8 by default when exactly (was it even Fedora
or a RHL decision)? The less stressful manner seems to have failed utterly
here, at some point some problems only get fixed (and not procastinated
indefinitely) when software breaks.

Moreover, experience shows any python tool (and we have tons of them
system-side) will break on UTF-8 by default. And that python devs do not
remember to test this case. Therefore, I doubt the problem could be
realistically detected and fixed before branching point.
