I want to challenge the "everyone" in your sentence above :-)

I agree that it would be a good idea to store filenames as UTF-8
in the filesystem.  But I (being a part of "everyone") do not
agree, that we should even try to switch every terminal in the
world to UTF-8.  We do need conversion of file names somewhere
between the filesystem level and output.
