I rarely update the C library.
Kernel + libraries + OS programs are a single unit here, updated
about once a year, and then by many people and with all the usual
testing.
I could lookup how often some locale was modified, but honestly, I'm
too lazy now.

Really? I re-read the chapter on Locale/CharSet Support, and I don't
see the mistake. Only one can not convert that to anything else, which
is fine in this usecase (storing arbitrary filenames from any OS in
any character-set within the same column).
