I hate the input mode being on default, and as a primarily English speaker use compose keys for the small bit I do with others. I need UTF-8 because this is what I save in, to maintain compatibility and to make it possible for i18n collaboration. Windows Vista is UTF-8, but it doesn't enable the input mode either, and I find it less annoying and faster to launch the desktop than OpenSolaris with B101b, so I hope 2009.4 just ships with it off for English keyboard users. If you have it detect the existence of Chinese, maybe you should bundle SCIM if it'd make them happy, and others (Spanish, Icelandic, Indic, Polish, Russian) can use regular input method.
