OpenBSD и UTF-8

В рассылке FreeBSD вот такое письмо прилетело:

    First this is already deprecated, only utf-8 locales and encoding are being
    updated on regular basis! Second, no we will not follow the path of OpenBSD here
    because locales are not only for interactive, but text processing, like
    for example databases (collation, comparison etc) and there are plenty of data
    stored that cannot be converted to unicode for many valid reason, dropping non
    unicode locales will just make sure those data and databases cannot be served
    on FreeBSD anymore! (btw note that OpenBSD, while having deprecated all non UTF-8
    encoding support, do not support unicode collation).

Вот верно заметили, что локализации используются не только для
интерактивных программ (9a7015f648c3b55e1c1ff22f8bfd2958dcf2e255).
И в очередной раз неприятно удивила меня OpenBSD тем, что там нет
Unicode collation. Не, понятное дело что никто не мешает использовать
внешние библиотеки, но если уж вы за Unicode, то без collation многие
web-задачи не выполнимы. Странные эти OpenBSD-шники всё же.
