We are investigating switching to this. It shouldn't be a problem, and with a quick rebuild of glibc in F24 I think we'll be ready. I just need to run through the testing quickly on Monday. All of our langpacks are auto-generated based on glibc supported locales so there is no grunt work in changing, just testing again that it works smoothly.
