I can't believe you are seriously suggesting to allow this to limit us
so badly that we would even have to close down an entire wiki (Gothic)
and may possibly not be able to re-open it again in years. The same
applies to high characters in article titles on Wikipedias such as
Chinese that are actually active and may actually *need* them! If they
are using them already, and they are working fine, and now you're
taking it away from them, I don't think they are going to like you. I
hope for strong opposition to such artificial limitations.
If MySQL's Unicode support is not up to the task, then DON'T USE IT.
I have to agree - I thought that we left the
"nobody-needs-more-than-X-characters"-age past us with Unicode. Please do
not add in artificial contraints again.
Best wishes,
Tels
