Thanks for checking! The only use case I know about is one of our more stubborn translators, but he is not active in GNOME anyway...
I guess all relevant distributions use utf8 at least for western languages.

I can't guarantee it working 100% of the time (I don't know how the internals work here), but I do think we are safe in this case. Besides, I can't imagine why you would need to run GNOME on anything other than UTF-8. I'd be interested to learn about any use cases, though.
