18 So what I will do is:
19
20 1. Create global USE flag named "unicode" which enables
21 Unicode(including UTF-7/UTF-8/UTF-16 and so on) support.
22 2. Don't make it default in any profiles. (We will consider it later
23 when those applications settle down.)
24
25 Everybody happy with this? I hope it will be a good starting point for
26 integrating Unicoded support into Gentoo Linux.
