UTF-8 is a big problem to en_US users, since the old default was their
particular encoding. So they feel it's a lots of pain for little wins.

For every one else however it's lots of pain for lots of wins.

(en_US pay for the rest of the world now, while the rest of the world paid
for en_US users before)
