Hi!

Why is PDNS explicitly using latin1?
https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/blob/master/modules/gmysqlbackend/schema.mysql.sql

>From what I understand, utf8mb4 / utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci is the best
charset / collation for MySQL / MariaDB atm.
Sure, PDNS uses IDNA and does not need unicode but wouldn't it be the
better default than latin1?

Kind regards
Kevin
