Okay, but I agree with Adam. If somebody wants to add support of
UTF-8
(and arbitrary characters that need quoting like an apostrophe) in
the
boot loader and all associated tools, the Feature deadline has
passed.
There should have been a test plan, fallback, etc.
This is a trivial thing to hold up a whole distribution release (even
test releases), especially when there may be bugs lurking in many
unknown places. Simplify the name for this release, and somebody can
submit a Feature and do proper testing/bug fixing/etc. for a future
release (if and when another name with non ASCII alphanumeric
characters
is chosen).
+1!
