This is something I don’t understand though, why do you need to upgrade your wp-config.php? Usually you’ll just replace every other files apart from wp-config for an upgrade. No?

I ran into the problem locally when I did a fresh 2.31 install and was testing out my Ajax Edit Comments plugin with various charsets. I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out and finally came across a few posts telling me to leave the charset empty.

I’d imagine this charset will only help out a minority of bloggers. I think WP goofed by giving it a default value.
