Alright, thanks for all the info. I'll leave this be for now until the
C.UTF-8 support in upstream glibc is released. If they manage to reduce the
size sufficiently to have it built-in, there might not even be anything to
change on Arch's side.

wouldn't be simpler to delegate the installation of locales to pacman
instead. I haven't been following the mailing lists for very long so I
don't know if this
