Still a myth that it's encoding-independent. Just insert a VFAT- or NTFS-
formatted USB stick and you'll have your kernel assuming your userspace is
UTF-8. You can change it, by supplying mount options when mounting said
filesystem, but most users don't and don't even know such options exist.

I don't even know how to configure udisks so it would do that by default if my
userspace weren't UTF-8.
