And LaTeX has moved on too. You can use luatex and utf8 input with
it without problem and for the unicode engines an unicode
fontencoding and open type fonts are the default in the kernel. That
you still *can* use special fontencodings to mimic transliteration,
8-bit-engines and type1-fonts with LaTeX doesn't mean that you
*have* to use them. You have the choice.
