> Why is it being specified that the current LC_CTYPE encoding should be ignored in Windows when a "locale" encoding is requested? Because `encoding="locale"` must be replacement of the current `encoding=None` (i.e. locale.getpreferredencoding(False). `encoding=None` behavior will be changed if we change the default encoding or enable UTF-8 mode by default. So we are adding an explicit name to current behavior. So It is not an option to assign other encoding. See PEP 597 for detail. I know you are proposing to use CRT locale on Windows. If we change the `locale.getpreferredencoding(False)` to use CRT locale, `encoding="locale"` follow it. But please discuss it in another issue.
