By "in RC" I meant "in RC as it currently stands", not "in RC before you
installed ucs-tables.el". As you know, I'm a big fan of ucs-tables.el.
Please don't try and find offense where there isn't, it makes me rather sad.

I was referring to what's in the utf-8.el file.

IIRC, on the trunk you changed utf-8.el directly and simply enforced
that ucs-tables.el be loaded when necessary.
