We don't remove support for legacy terminals, we are enforcing support
for them.

By moving files to utf-8, we know that if you have a iso-8859-1 terminal,
the display will accept the output of 


iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1


while in the current situation we can't reliably tell the source
character set.
