It was never Fedora-specific. The original justification in 2013 or so
was "other distros already do it". It's just glibc upstream that
doesn't
have it.
We still carry
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glibc/blob/master/f/glibc-c-utf8-local...,
so it seems this hasn't been upstream.
Ugh, this is a rather cumbersome situation for other projects:
supporting and using C.UTF-8 isn't going to happen large scale until
it's upstreamed. And it does make one wonder what exactly is preventing
it from being upstreamed in glibc.
