I've no opinion, really. UTF-8 has been "just about to take over the world" for a decade now. Maybe it's finally happening, but I'm not holding my breath. So as far as I'm concerned it'd be nice to have, but low priority.
What would the other charsets offer that utf-8 cannot, I mean beyond not having to convert ?
Well, support for other applications than LDAPv3, since LDAPv3 will require the LDIF parser to charset-convert to UTF-8. But if such a thing
would need non-UTF-8 support it would likely have it now anyway.
Right.
