I haven't been following all the details in this thread, but isn't the
whole purpose of this proposed change to accommodate code (apparently on
Linux?) that is buggy in that it assumes it can use bytes for paths
without knowing the encoding? It seems like from one perspective
allowing bytes in paths is just helping to accommodate a certain very
widespread class of bugs.
