It breaks every user's setup where LANG and LC_CTYPE inadvertently point to different locales (like LC_CTYPE=en_US, LANG=ru_RU) and users in that case have completely not working Wine: neither keyboard input, not localized resources and everything else. I, personally, fixed several similar cases for our customers.
I'm still not clear on what you are objecting to. Changing the system locale is not going to affect keyboard input or resources. Keyboard input will be affected because we now set the Unix codepage from LC_CTYPE too, is that your main objection? Or are you saying that we shouldn't even attempt to take into account the locale config because users get it wrong anyway?
