I am not saying that we should shift to use .utf8. I am saying that
when the locale ends up as .utf8 for one reason or another, applications
must not break.

This does not have to be an either/or thing! The primary name for the
locales are still generally .UTF-8 and should remain that way. But
locale aliases exist and it's only a small number of buggy applications
that fail to cope with them.
