You are missing the point that "new" alphabet was way more before designed than "systems".

Right way should be involving in a process of developing standards, not changing some chars because some new tech come and has problems with the language ( going rampage as you mentioned earlier isn't also a valid solution ).

I don't quite understand your point here. I understand which came first, by quite some time. It happens that this is a stickier problem than merely "developing standards." What happens when an American tries to log in from a Turkish terminal? If everything is made case insensitive, i turns into İ rather than I. Similarly, what happens when a Türk logs in from another terminal? Do you have the locale attached to the user? (Public terminals can be an issue if someone can't change the keyboard layout. Do they log in as denIz? Does that work? It might if everything is brought to upper case, but not lowercase.

The Turkish I is one of the most interesting issues in internationalization.
