FWIW, I'm hoping to backport whatever improved handling of the C locale that we agree on for Python 3.7+ to the initial system Python 3.6.0 release in Fedora 26 [1] - hence the section about redistributor backports in PEP 538. While the problems with the C locale have been known for a while, this latest attempt to do something about it started as an idea I had for a downstream Fedora-specific patch (which became PEP 538), while that PEP in turn served as motivation for Victor to write PEP 540 as an alternative approach that didn't depend on having the C.UTF-8 locale available. With the F26 Alpha at the end of February and the F26 Beta in late April, I'm hoping we can agree on a way forward without requiring months to make a decision :) > -- I'm only asking for a few more days Yeah, while I'd prefer not to see the discussions drag out indefinitely, there's also still plenty of time for folks to consider the PEPs closely and formulate their perspective.
