Of course there is a reason to keep it as is: the charset would have
to change. Even the 8859-1 -> 8859-15 change is definitely
introducing problem. The change from 8859-2 to 8859-16 is a
catastrophy since entire languages would not be supported anymore.
Until/unless UTF-8 is the default charset the user must select the
@euro locale.
