I didn't know about that bug. When I picked encodings to support for
Chrome, I  removed all the IBM code pages on purpose. (and then, I guess I
also filed a bug against Mozilla for doing the same).  I wouldn't fight for
the removal of cp866, but would be happy to remove it again from Chrome 38
branch. Note that Chrome 38 is still in dev channel (and soon will be in
beta channel) and it'll be about 5-6 weeks before it turns stable.
