I don't think we should design our systems in a way that inconveniences
many users because some users are using broken operating systems.  If
Japanese users have not realized yet that the locale support they are
using is broken, then it's not the right solution to disable it in
PostgreSQL by default.  In that case the problem would just persist for
the system as a whole.  The right solution is for them to turn off locale
support in their operating system, the way it's supposed to be done.
