I don't think so: if the file doesn't have a `coding:' cookie but has significant non-ASCII chars in it, we usually sooner or later get bug reports about it (because someone loaded the file in an locale where the encoding ended up not recognized correctly). So I suspect the main breakage will be in personal files (typically the .emacs file) rather than in packages. > While you *can* set `auto-coding-alist', I think it will cause a lot > of pain.
