Why change it?  The default for X selections is compound-text, which can 
handle many different languages/scripts mixed in a single selection.  
What you propose (to set it to koi8-u) will limit the selections to a 
single charset.  Why is that a good idea?

Whether defining a language environment should set keyboard and terminal 
encodings is an old issue, but it isn't a clear-cut one.  It is possible 
that someone defines a language environment but her keyboard and/or 
terminal cannot cope with encoded characters.
