It might well be.  My objection was to the proposal for back-patching it
when we have little idea of the possible side-effects.  I would be fine
with handling that as a 9.4-only patch (preferably with the usual review
process).

Yeah, and another question is whether 3rd-party code might not do its own
bind_textdomain_codeset() call with what it thinks is the right setting,
thereby overriding our attempted fix.

Still, libc is certainly the source of the vast majority of
potentially-translated messages that we might be passing through to users,
so fixing it would be a step forward.
