-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd ask some question here.

1. I don't see the reason that uclibc-ng should obsolete uclibc, at least. not
"more suitable for different software development processes.", POC?

Fedora switches uclibc-ng may cause troubles to downstream folks or just users,
have you measured the actual impact? As far as I can see from upstream, "This
might change in the future".

If uclibc FTBFS, or no active upstream activities, then it's time to do the
retire, but not now *I think*. Especially from upstream git I still can see
commits in the past 3 years after its latest release.

2. I'm not sure if uclibc in Fedora is a package or just another c lib, if just
a package ,you still need to build it with %optflags (UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS)

3. About these 2, should they be enabled?

Wide Character Support (UCLIBC_HAS_WCHAR) [N/y/?] n
Locale Support (UCLIBC_HAS_LOCALE) [N/y/?] n
