Interesting finding in your mails. Very informative. Regarding
GB18030, the reason we want to support it is because it is
mandatory in mainland. If we don't support it, Linux
distributors/companies cannot sale their systems 'legally'.
And Linux will not be choosen by organizations and commercial
institudes because of lacking support for GB18030.
I do agree there should be some 'brutal force' to push for
Unicode adoption. People are lazy or has great inertia. someone
have to do the initiative.
