Note that glibc-2.23 preserves compatibility with version 2.22 which was available
in Fedora 23, and no changes in packaging are required. Also see <ulink

- The GNU C Library version 2.23 in Fedora will no longer provide a POSIX Realtime
library that is based solely around the Linux Kernel Asynchronous IO interfaces
(<systemitem>librtkaio</systemitem>). Instead, the binary compatible POSIX
Realtime library (<systemitem>librt</systemitem>) will be used for all
applications. Applications expecting <systemitem>librtkaio</systemitem> may
experience a performance degradation and it is suggested they upgrade to
<systemitem>libaio</systemitem>. A compatibility symlink is being provided for
this release to ensure a smooth transition; however, this symlink may be removed in future
releases.

+ <systemitem>glibc</systemitem> provides localized strings, totalling
over 100MB on disk in the locale archive at <filename

now provides glibc translations for each locale in a separate package, reducing
unnecessary disk usage. Use the <literal>glibc-all-langpacks</literal>
package to provide all locales, or install the
<literal>glibc-langpack-<replaceable>language
