What if I am 15 year old newbie, who doesn't know all the drama
around 8-bit era. And I read on the Internet, that FreeBSD is
superior to Ubuntu. So I decided to try FreeBSD. What login
class would I choose: russian or russian_utf8? The latter
is something I don't know about, so I will choose the former.

Also, if we speak about existing installations. Those have
/etc/adduser.conf saved. And new users would be prompted
to be created with 'russian' class, since previous were.
So new users would be created with KOI8-R til end of life
of the box.
