Hmm, I do not agree with you that the sole act of opensourcing a software should bring it above criticism. Any developer that takes a bit of pride in his work should at least keep himself to some minimal standards and I think supporting UTF-8 isn't an unreasonable baseline for software released right now.

A few snippets from the Show HN guidelines:
> A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage.
> Be respectful. Anyone sharing work is making a contribution, however modest.
> When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative.
I'm not saying it people shouldn't be open to criticism, but I think terms such as downright shameful fall under the category of gratuitously negative.
