I am talk not about using or not using utf-8.
I am talk about unconditionaly forcing switch from non-utf8 to utf-8
locale (FreeBSD-11 can be get not only be fresh install but and by
freebsd-update/source update on the live systems, with bunch files
witch content in koi8 and named in koi8).

Also, some config files (from ports) have raw 8-bit characters inside.
