Yes, for some files it causes trouble (mostly the ones where
unify-8859-on-decoding also poses problems).

But for a ChangeLog file, I don't know of any pending problem.  We can of
course switch to iso-2022 if we ever bump into a problem with utf-8 on
url/ChangeLog, but I think that as long as utf-8 works, we should stick
to it, especially since the probability of a problem gets smaller over time
as our Unicode support gets better.
