Ah, to boldly go there RedHat has gone before.

Nah, don't think so, yet.

There has been lots of UTF-8 glibc fixes the last year, and I suspect
more are to come as RedHat and others keep finding bugs.  And I know
from experience that using UTF-8 all over give compatibility problems.
Did you ever try to log into a Solaris box from a RedHat 9 box using
UTF-8?  I did.  All 8bit chars were messed up.
