Sure, although it's going to break an unknown number of user scripts. From another side, those using NONE as default charset might deserve that ;-) But if we'd go this route, one more idea comes to mind. What about prohibiting NONE as a default database charset at all, even if specified explicitly? Those who want to save on transliteration would still have that ability by matching the server and connection charsets or by using NONE as a connection charset. Does anybody see any problem here?
