If we do go with the update-the-docs approach, perhaps we should |
8 |
consider still including a locale file in env.d, explicitly set the |
9 |
default there, and then have the UTF-8 entries (perhaps a few common |
10 |
ones) commented out in that file? Then changing to utf-8 is just a |
11 |
matter of swapping the comment marks. |

That at least standardizes the approach taken for new installs and is |
14 |
more instructive. We already do something similar with locale.gen. |
