Um ... well, that's already a bridge too far. Postgres does not support
any encodings that aren't ASCII supersets, and the possibility that we
would do so in future isn't measurably different from zero. There's too
much code that depends on that assumption, and too little benefit to
getting rid of it.
If you can show a problem case that doesn't involve EBCDIC, then I'm
all ears.
