Following that logic, they will expect the next major version number, whatever it is, to have Unicode. Nothing can be done about that apart from telling the world it won't, including it in, or let them find out for themselves...

If we decide the next major version doesn't have unicode then we will
have to manage/expect some community confusion.  This will happen
regardless of designated version number.
