IIUC we have to weigh:

 - the number of documents in base or pkgsrc that benefit from unicode
   support (my guess: close to zero)
 - the number of users of non-unicode based locales where the current
   version is just broken (a regression from previous relesases), which
   is pretty huge

The version after the change should mostly work exactly the same for all
common documents even when the user uses a UTF-8 locale setting.

Or am I missing something?
