Why would I be _for_ switching? I'm a unilingual Anglophile. utf-8
would gain me nothing. I'm glad utf-8 (et al) finally exists for
those of you who who can use it or need it. However, it's irrelevant
here. I only know English, and can puzzle out some words in other
related western European languages.
I'd guess my $HOME probably is mostly uncompressed text, source and
documentation.
