Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on IO-842:
------------------------------------------
No, there are several problems with that:
1. UTF-8 is not always correct or desired, even when it is the platform default
character set.
2. JDK 18+ is a small minority of the installed base, and pre-JEP 400 VMs are
likely to be with us for the remainder of our careers.
3. Even on JDK 21+ UTF-8 is not guaranteed as the default character set. It can
be changed to something else at the VM level.
> Deprecate FileUtils.writeLines without charsets

> Project: Commons IO

> Many of the FileUtils.writeLines methods use the system default encoding and
> should be deprecated. This might require providing replacements that do use
> an explicit encoding.
