Bzzt
- when you bundle lots of different fonts in a single package the user
can't control fonts at the rpm level, since the bundle will always exist
but with different contents (that's a big problem with fonts-region
packages)
- if these things take legacy core fonts strings the string associated
to a font has been known to change even though the font itself was still
shipped
- also some core font users (most notably X) will crash if these aliases
do not resolve. So a small change a user may have forgotten about will
kill his system months later if config(noreplace) is used and an old
stale config file is kept on the system
- core fonts need to die die die. robust config is better than perfect
brittle config in core fonts case
