I hope that was the case from late 80s when locales were widely
introduced on many systems which still exist in volume with their
successors, but all of such systems I know of treat such short locale
names as aliaes to non-UTF-8 locales for long time.
So are you suggesting we should rather intentionally break the
compatibility with those existing systems so that people gets the
hint of getting a rid of legacy encodings as a shock-treatment?
