There might be some in the de facto backbone, but I know for a fact that several are branches. Given that safe encodings (e.g. BASE64) exist and are standard in MIME, we'd be foolish to ignore such encodings. Now sites that know that their neighbors can handle 8-bit need not use such encodings, but sites that don't know about their neighbors or who know the neighbor can't handle it could include conversion as part of the process of sending articles in/out.
