Tired of maintainers who never understand my patches. Sometimes their reviweing takes months or years or forever, even when it's very trivial and known to work correctly.

Maybe they are also tired of tight release schedules and keeping up employer's/customer's requirements.

Why CJKV language processing is an issue:

• Multibyte encodings are used. They are incompatible with each other, as well as with iso-8859-N or other 8-bit encodings.
• The number of "alphabets" are relatively big. Even no native Chinese person knows the exact number. For Korean, there are 19+21+27 alphabets but they can be "combined" into 19*21*(27+1) glyphs.
• And, some American/European hackers' ASSUMPTION. They assumes iso-8859-1 encoding. They assumes linebreaks can occur between any bytes. In some cases CJK support brings inefficiency.

Nothing to keep much. Hm.. It's not easy to keep a diary entry in English.
