I see no need to take a strong stance against adding such new features.
If there is consensus that a feature is useful (at least to some subset
of users), implementors are not opposed, and the feature won't
complicate further language evolution, then I see no reason to be
opposed to it. There are, and will be for a long time to come, programs
that do not require Unicode and that need to operate in non-Unicode
environments. We don't need to make them a priority, but we don't need
to stand in their way either.
