I don't know, because anything that it could do would be backward
incompatible. What is clear is that, on reasonably modern systems, legacy
locales are not used anymore, and their use is discouraged (e.g. the
Debian installer does not present you with any legacy encoding, they
remain available but to activate them you need to edit the /etc/locale.gen
file manually). So perhaps Emacs could always assume UTF-8, and use
another encoding only when there are good reasons to do so (e.g. when
opening a file with a legacy encoding). The presence of the equivalence
eo / Latin-3 in locale.alias is IMO not a good enough reason.
