There are many clear advantage of emails over homing pigeons if we talk about communications. Could you please demonstrate what are the advantages of 8 bit mime? Yes, it saves some small fraction of the traffic and CPU resources but this is just negligible comparing to breaking e2e compatibility if there are some middleboxes involved.
I completely agree in the absence of internationalized mail. I guess the best course of action is to support 8BITMIME, but to use it if and only if it is needed to support SMTPUTF8. You could argue that this doesn't really matter because nobody relies on internationalized mail, but that leads to a chicken-and-egg problem - if nobody implements it, nobody cares about it, and if nobody cares about it, nobody implements it.
