You surely must have missed the sentence "For that reason I think it's also better that the configure script continues to default to UTF-16 -- this will give the UTF-16 support code the necessary exercise." This is effectively a BDFL pronouncement. Nothing has changed the validity of the premise of the statement, so the conclusion remains valid, as well.
