Well, as a locale hy_AM.ARMSCII-8 is definitely not needed. However, as
an encoding it's still useful: sometimes I (and probably some other people)
need to convert some "ancient" documents from ARMSCII-8 to UTF-8.

I do not think that the removing it will prevent such conversion anyway
(e.g. with iconv), correct?
