Just wanted to point out that Fedora includes C.UTF-8 since circa 2015...
Patch used by them is here (and, in fact, seems to come from a Red Hat employee
who contributes often to glibc):
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glibc/blob/0457f649e3fe6299efe384da13dfc923bbe65707/f/glibc-c-utf8-locale.patch
The discussion in the e-mail threads was somewhat about *optimizing* C.UTF-8 so
that it takes less space... While I think that's great (and very advisable!) I
think it's a separate step from starting to *ship* C.UTF-8 by default.
So... ship first, optimize later?
At this point, most major distros seem to be shipping it anyways, so why not
include it upstream so that at some point in the near future we know we can
count on it on all distros?
