Yes, ideed we haven't had a problem with ISO-8859-1 yet with our authors
names because we are all west european based, and Dmitry has an "ASCII
name" ;)

As we have discussed this "over and over" (in the core team), for me it
felt like it was public already. I totally forgot about the whole team
of very active contributors to the core that are not core developers
yet! Sorry for that, and I am glad that you understood the reasons for
the move.

I am sorry that it hasn't been properly announce beforehand! Thanks
Steffen for the article at buzz. I have made the information also public
as a 4.5 project news:
