I think this is a very bad idea.  The C.UTF-8 locale is Fedora-specific.
It is not upstream, and it is known to be broken in many ways.  It may
or may not match what other distributions use.

I have argued for some time that the locale must be upstreamed, but
unfortunately, I'm not getting anywhere.

Thanks,
Florian
