Hi,
Yes, please.
As an example, defaulting to C locale causes problems with certain apps when
accessing file names containing non-ASCII characters.
Sure, old-timers may have customized their systems, and even their
installation images, but this is impractical for temporary VMs, or newcomers.
Never had a problem while using build/install scripts in base or building
ports with a current locale of fr_FR.UTF-8, except a minor one, unrelated to
UTF-8, when building the doc (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/
show_bug.cgi?id=246936)).
Regards.
