The area that I am going to look forward to is when a package has what
looks like an ascii character but turns out to be a different UTF
version of that letter. The example I remember from class was where
the word nonny-nonny had 6 different 'types' of n. Looking at it where
they all showed up as \uBLAH was easy but in a completely UTF
compliant screen you couldnt just type it. Not that Fedora has to deal
with support tickets..
