How does that matter if the user (quixote developer) changes
HTTPResponse.DEFAULT_CHARSET to something else (expecting that change to
be reflected everywhere)?

iso-8859-1 will still be used if that's what HTTPResponse.DEFAULT_CHARSET
is set to (which it does by default)!

Also you can see the HTTPResponse.__init__ method just above this
HTTPResponse.set_content_type method that it's does the same thing this
patch does.
