This is in many cases an emotional issue. Developers get used to their 
environment and they need a reason to change it, not a reason to leave 
it intact. We already allow them to have a database and web output in 
any encoding. Requiring template files to be in utf-8 only may look weird.

Yeah, this is very appealing indeed. I think this is due to be ruled by 
one of our BDFL's :-). Do we actively push utf-8 adoption or support the 
legacy?
