Looks good to me.

Fedora support is here:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/glibc.git/commit/?id=0457f649e3fe6299efe384da13dfc923bbe65707

Patch for C.UTF-8:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/glibc/2015-September/000081.html

The patch lists some if the differences between debian and fedora.

We are testing C.UTF-8 in rawhide and I expect Mike FABIAN wants to
submit this upstream at some point to become the official C.UTF-8
locale, but we'd also like to harmonize with the distros if there
is anything we aren't doing right.

Cheers,
Carlos.
