Even there I bet they'd love something a little more i18n friendly than
core fonts

Anyway I pretty much don't care if we keep xfs or not, but I do hope we
get rid of the legacy backend that breaks every time an index file
slightly changes. Read the fonts at runtime without massaging à la
fontconfig. And pretend you're the old system to legacy apps where
people are still rationalising why they don't need to do fixing.
