IIRC, the default locale is chosen during the installation process of Red
Hat, so any locale is explicitly chosen.  If Red Hat does not provide a
means to set the C locale as the default, that is Red Hat's fault.  But
then it should also be Red Hat's job (and Red Hat's decision) to install
PostgreSQL in a certain way or other to account for that.  Compiles from
source don't count here, those users enabled locale explicitly anyway.
