    As long as they want to share any non-ASCII plaintext (including from
    foreign file systems): YES.

Hmm. A POSIX compliant system allows its users to set LC_CTYPE
to any desired value, even for each process separately.

It is impossible for the mounts done at boot time to react to
the user's environment variables.
