Unless the rules of mathematics had changed 25% is still a minority. You also forget that there are plenty of people who compile extensions and never end up using them. The critical point of this entire discussion is about NOT forcing choices on people who do not want/need them. There is no good reason to force multibyte version of fgetcsv() on every single user, when there are not one but two PHP extensions designed explicitly for multibyte support. If fgetcsv() in PHP 5 cannot be designed in such a way as to have no significant performance penalties for non-multibyte strings the function should be introduced as mb_fgetcsv() or iconv_fgetcsv().
