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.
