Being able to rely on the existence of a UTF-8 english locale simplifies many use cases. A good example of issues introduced due to a lack of a built-in UTF-8 locale is https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8340 which is a workaround added in 2018 that still exists today. Having the C.UTF-8 locale available by default in Arch would enable removing such workarounds. Any thoughts? Cheers, Daan De Meyer
