I disagree. This particular problem points out a problem that is only
going to become more of a problem as the internationalization of
software increases. Not everything is ASCII or English, and not
defensively programming for such cases is short-sighted.
Perhaps we are getting "burned out" by the hectic pace that Fedora tries
to keep with a six-month release cycle. I know I sat out a lot of the
18 cycle due to a sense of being overwhelmed by the rush.
