Yes, and to some extent this subthread is a tempest in a teapot, since typical 
French users now either use a UTF-8 locale, or perhaps the C locale, and Emacs 
works fine in both these cases. That is, when I run this:

LC_ALL=C emacs -Q newfile
C-x 8 [ RET
C-x C-s

on Fedora 24, Emacs saves the file using UTF-8 without prompting the user for an 
encoding - basically, it is bypassing the locale settings for this file, which 
is a reasonable thing to do.

As I understand it, this subthread is about what Emacs should do in a unibyte 
locale that isn't the C locale. It's not clear to me why these locales (which 
are no longer that important) should be treated differently from a unibyte C 
locale for this sort of situation.
