Is that really a good metric to evaluate against though ? All the minimal containers have generally thrown out anything related to i18n/l10n, leaving only support for the most basic C locale, in the name of saving image size. IOW loss of anything related to helping non-English/Western users is (unfortunately) accepted collatoral damage with containers, and IDN was just one cut of many in that area. I don't think it follows that it is OK to sacrifice IDN by default for all Fedora deliverables, because many others do still care about providing good i18n support to users.
