This discussion is very similar with one, that i have seen in Russian |
| 5 |
Linux community some years ago about migrating from ru_RU.KOI8-R to |
| 6 |
ru_RU.UTF-8. Arguments from "KOI8-R guys" were the same - "Why we should |
| 7 |
change something if it works?" and they are also did not notice |
| 8 |
fundamental problems with some vitally important packages, which can not |
| 9 |
be replaced or need to be heavily patched to work properly. Arguments |
| 10 |
from "UTF-8 guys" were not ideal, but locale change brokes only old or |
| 11 |
unsupported packages, so they win. |

P.S. I do not think that comparison with 'initramfs and separate /usr |
| 14 |
problem' is correct in this case. Default locale change is evolution, |
| 15 |
not revolution... |
