I also support making :utf-8 the default. It will only improve stability, without any harm.

Even if someone wants to use some incomatible encoding (but I doubt such people exist,
let's say probability of their existence is 0.01), they can always specify

   :defsystem-depends-on :asdf-encodings
   :encoding :koi8-r

That's 0.5 hour per ASDF system. 

0.01 * 0.5 is nothing comparig to how many existing systems will build reliably. In the current
situation when source file encoding is environment dependent, the defeloper is often is just
unaware that hist ASDF system will not build on other computer.
