Ok, well the rest of the world has switched (is switching) to UTF-8, as 
it supports many more things than the ISO Locale did. Things that 
stopped us (the place i work) in our tracks and had to be hacked around 
for years, now just simply work (Spanish, Russian and other character 
inputs and sanitization).

Don't be surprised when things you favor using just *STOP* working 
properly soon. exo-mount is only the very tip of the huge iceberg 
coming to get you.

This is sort of analogous to the 'C' Locale. Sure it works most of the 
time... but when it really matters, should you use it? (No is the 
answer there)
