Description Josh Sled 2006-06-07 22:51:59 UTC 
We must, at least, utf8-validate imported data, so that we don't write out a datafile that will be mis-parsed on input.  This is in lieu of actual changes to correctly dialog with the user to determine the charset of the being-imported data.
Comment 1 Josh Sled 2006-06-07 22:53:11 UTC 
See Bug#344170.
Comment 2 Thomas Bushnell, BSG 2006-06-10 03:06:03 UTC 
Since the lack of validation causes actual data loss (perhaps lots and lots of it), shouldn't the severity be critical?  Not sure it affects much though.

--Yours in the interest of accurate bookkeeping :)
