That is possible, but I don't think it'll be that widespread. Gnarly upstream build scripts tend to be old, and not all systems always had en_US.UTF-8, so those script should do some autodetection of the available encodings.

Neither version of EPEL seems to support C.UTF-8. So if somebody wants to support F30+ and EPEL (or F21-) from the same branch, they should probably add additional BR and use one of the more heavyweight locales.
