I agree. Every single problem that I can recall Linus bringing up as a

you stick with UTF-8 equivalence comparison the entire time, then
everything just works.
Granted, this is a problem when you have to operate on a filesystem
that thinks of filenames as octets, but as I said before, this doesn't
mean the HFS+ approach is wrong, it just means it's incompatible with
Linus's approach.
