I agree with you on that. The only question is: whether it is feasible
to enforce UTF-8 locale in it's current state and taking into account
the overly large amount of KOI8-* files? One of the first things people
do after installing RedHat here (in Kyiv, Ukraine) is to switch to KOI8.
There is even a step-by-step FAQ on that ;)

Maybe, it would be nice if the installer asks for preferred encoding
after it determines the language setting.
