I sent it, today.

If XeTeX/LuaTeX is used and @documentencoding is UTF-8,
using native UTF-8 support is very natural for me.
Of course, even if using XeTeX/LuaTeX, if @documentencoding is US-ASCII,
I think that the native UTF-8 support may be turned off.
Most users use pdfTeX instead of XeTeX/LuaTeX.
The risk of using native UTF-8 support is few
because pdfTeX does not have the function.
If you consciously use XeTeX/LuaTeX instead of pdfTeX
and consciously set @documentencoding to UTF-8 instead of US-ASCII,
it means that you want to use native UTF-8 support in my humble opinion.
Otherwise, if you use UTF-8 characters on XeTeX/LuaTeX
without native UTF-8 support, some problems can be happen.
(something like ``Table of Contents'' broken etc.)
I think this is obviously a risk.
Additionally, CJK characters can not be used without native UTF-8 support.
