What is the difference. Please enlighten me.
The result is still "it is not happening now", but the question is "will it
happen in eventually", you have not answered the question. If it IS, then
we should start working NOW. That is
my point. If we collectively decide that it is NEVER going to happen and we
will stay with ACE FOREVER, then, we should stop here and live happily ever
after with ACE. But if the general direction or consensus is to move
towards UTF8 eventually, then, we should start the work now.
