            Bug ID: 17318
           Summary: [RFE] Provide a C.UTF-8 locale by default
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ncoghlan at gmail dot com

Fedora doesn't currently provide the C.UTF-8 locale. In the RFE requesting it
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902094), it was suggested that a
more appropriate would be for it to be provided as part of upstream glibc, at
which point Fedora would inherit it by default.

Hence, this RFE to request the inclusion of a C.UTF-8 locale by default.

My personal interest relates to Python 3, where "LANG=C" misconfigures a few
aspects to use ASCII, when they really should be using UTF-8. While I'd
actually like to fix that on the Python side in the long run, being able to set
"LANG=C.UTF-8" instead is a solution that already works for existing versions
of Python 3.

Bug #16621 suggests that C.UTF-8 may actually require special casing in glibc
in order to be handled correctly. If that's accurate, then it would strengthen
the case for including the locale in the upstream library.
