Comment (by davidsarah):

 Unfortunately the fix for that ticket isn't sufficient, because

 > I don't plan to add IFTPShell.FEATURES in this patch since without UTF-8
 support there will be nothing to export. Beside UTF-8 all other features
 (SIZE, MDTM, ect) are tied to the protocol.FTP implementation.

 With this change, it is possible to declare support for UTF-8 by
 monkeypatching {{{twisted.protocols.ftp.FTP.FEATURES}}}, but that depends
 on an implementation detail, which is what we were trying to avoid.
 (Granted, it's a slightly less ugly monkeypatch.)

 I don't know why adiroiban ignored me when I pointed out that the goal of
 that ticket could be achieved in a simpler way that would have been
 sufficient. Maybe I should have argued the case more strenuously.
