Actually the one thing that the piwik port has dictated is that everything IS
handled UTF8. The only reason for mentioning it is that some other projects have
created problems when going for major version switches. A crib sheet of thing to
watch out for would be useful ... but one of the reasons Hg has given for not
moving to Python 3 is that the code will not then run on Python 2 so they would
need to maintain both. Add the BC breaks in Smarty3 and some of the
'improvements' now being pushed in PHP5.4 and the whole thing becomes a
minefield. Many of the applications I am running have not changed what they DO
since the early 90's but it is now an up hill struggle keeping them working at
all :( Oh for a simple life with just ONE development language to support ...
