It would've been nice for Microsoft to set all the narrow code pages to UTF-8 in Windows NT (or Windows 64 bit, the other transition point), but they didn't, so here we are.
They can do it anytime. It won't break anything. You already cannot rely on a specific narrow code page, and it even can be variable-length (e.g. Shift-JIS). They don't do it intentionally (http://bit.ly/2Pdaa). -- Yakov
