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.
Can we use glibc-langpack-en instead of glibc-langpack-minimal and keep
en_US.UTF-8 locale as default?

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
