I personally vote for unicode, but if it is going to be enabled by |
| 7 |
default (i.e. Gentoo support UTF-8 immediately after installation), |
| 8 |
utf8 seems adequate rather than unicode. I just don't want to add |
| 9 |
utf7, utf16, utf32 USE flags for each encoding but have unicode USE |
| 10 |
flag which will support Unicode encodings (if any). |

Even if the USE flag is enabled by default, it doesn't take any effect |
| 16 |
unless each ebuild actually uses the USE flag. It may break wxGTK |
| 17 |
related ebuilds as darkspecter suggested (thanks for the comment) and |
| 18 |
I'm thinking that it isn't time to make the USE flag default yet |
| 19 |
(liquidx is working on getting UTF-8 down on Gentoo system). Anyhow, |
| 20 |
creating unicode/utf8 USE flag and making it default are two different |
| 21 |
matters and we can discuss them separately. |
