Even worse, it breaks quite a couple of installed ports, if you have  
the defaults
set, since the change drops all UCS4 bindings, causing e.g.  
x11-toolkits/py-tkinter
to stop working (along with all ports depending on it.

That simple change needs either an UPDATING entry to recompile all  
Python-related ports
(at least those using the unicode functions explicitly) or it needs to  
be reverted back
asap, if there's no specific reason for the change.
