Hi, Yes, please. As an example, defaulting to C locale causes problems with certain apps when accessing file names containing non-ASCII characters. Sure, old-timers may have customized their systems, and even their installation images, but this is impractical for temporary VMs, or newcomers. Never had a problem while using build/install scripts in base or building ports with a current locale of fr_FR.UTF-8, except a minor one, unrelated to UTF-8, when building the doc (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/ show_bug.cgi?id=246936)).
