It's 10 years later, what has changed? Not that much. I am not aware of any Linux distro that comes with an LSM to prevent nonsense/dangerous names. All distros I have used use UTF-8 locales by default now, so that part of his lengthy argumentation could nearly be removed. In Yocto though, non-ASCII characters on the command line still cause havoc. Well, Yocto is not a distro, but a way to build your own. So one needs to replace several standard tools like vi, less, etc. from busybox by the "full" version.
