What is your issue?

We frequently get bug reports related to encoding that can usually be fixed by clearing it or by overriding it using the encoding parameter of the to_* methods, e.g.

There are also a few discussions with more background:

We discussed this in the meeting yesterday and as far as I can remember agreed that the current default behavior is not ideal and decided to investigate #5336: a keep_encoding option, similar to keep_attrs, that would be True (propagate encoding) by default but will be changed to False (drop encoding on any operation) in the future.
