About default locale for Russian users. When is going to be UTF-8
by default if you were planning the migration?

S> As I see current default -- no login class, locale "C".

No, the current default is UTF-8. The previous was KOI8-R. And this

adduser(8) asks explicitly, or you can specify it via -L argument.
chpass(1) allows to modify it, if run as super-user.

It isn't removed.
