UTF is the future, and in the long run, it's better if all software

make UTF the default way back in version 8, and it caused some
problems initially, but most problems are now solved. I don't think
they will change this in the future, and I personally think it's a
good idea. Just be aware that sed and grep are quite slow in UTF
environments, and you should run then like this if you know your text
is ascii:
LANG=C grep ....
This shouldnt be needed.. I remmember seeing a update announcement for
grep released some time ago that should fix this on
fedora-announce-list. If it is still slow , please fill a report on
bugzilla.
