Whoops, hit "send" too soon. Could you please explain what "more broken" means. At the very least, a few of us (eliott, dan, and myself) removed this line a few days ago and I have heard no report of issues. This may be that we're all en_US people, but it may not. You also need to unset LESSCHARSET for the full effect, but this may not be done if you have the old /etc/profile due the the pacman 3.0 backup issue
