Yes, I think we should fix it and remove UNICODE and WIN encoding names from PG code.
The JDBC driver asks for a UNICODE client encoding before it knows the server version it is talking to. How do you avoid breaking this?
Fix JDBC driver as soon as possible.
How, exactly? Ask for a 'utf8' client encoding instead of 'UNICODE'? Will this work if the driver is connecting to an older server?
Add to 8.1 release notes: encoding names 'UNICODE' and 'WIN' are deprecated and it will removed in next release. Please, use correct names "UTF-8" and "WIN1215".
8.0 appears to spell it 'utf8'.
Removing the existing aliases seems like a fairly gratuitous incompatibility to introduce to me.
