That is possible, but I don't think it'll be that widespread. Gnarly
upstream build scripts tend to be old, and not all systems always had
en_US.UTF-8, so those script should do some autodetection of the available
encodings. Anyway, we'll see.

Neither version of EPEL seems to support C.UTF-8. So if somebody wants
to support F30+ and EPEL (or F21-) from the same branch, they should
probably add additional BR and use one of the more heavyweight locales.
