I would not claim this applies on FPC in general, but wrt. this matters, I can't deny feeling so. Certain members denied UTF-8 to impose usability problems and redirected discussion to "compose keys" and "GUI tools", so ... shall they get what they want ... I had wanted to prevent harm from Fedora, but I failed :/ May-be these people need to trip these issues themselves to understand why this is a usability regression, and why I consider allowing utf-8 in package file names to be short-sighted.
