We have to switch sometime, and I say now is a good time. There's high chance that default login class uses UTF-8 locale at some point (PC-BSD had that for couple of years already afaik), so the issue is not limited to russian or russian-utf8. System update is not a problem at all - major branch switch implies some attention, and converting file encodings or tuning default locale is just a little part of it. Since the latter is always an option, there's nothing to talk about here. I don't think the project can lag behind and stay on crippled legacy solutions forever just because someone does not want to update. > Also, some config files (from ports) have raw 8-bit characters inside. They'll have to be converted based on OSVERSION/option. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://amdmi3.ru
