But don't you *want* to see all your fonts? I.e. if you chose to
install xorg-ugly-fonts, you don't want them mysteriously missing from
your font listings, do you?
I think as long as the ugly fonts are in separate packages, putting them
all in /usr/share/fonts will be ok based on the principle of least
surprise (though you bring up a good point that this is a change in
behavior wrt current FC).
