Change owner(s): Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat.com>

Switch GLIBC in Fedora 20 to GLIBC version 2.18.

== Detailed description ==
GLIBC 2.18 will be released at the end of July 2013; we have started closely 
tracking the GLIBC 2.18 development code in Fedora Rawhide and are addressing 
any issues as they arise. There should be little difference from the users 
perspective between GLIBC 2.17 used in F19 and GLIBC 2.18 used in F20.

== Scope ==
Proposal owners: Update glibc to 2.18 from tested upstream release. 
Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) 
Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) 
Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) 

The library is backwards compatible with the version of glibc that was shipped 
in Fedora 19. All packages do not need to be rebuilt.
