Please look at changelogs dates, this particular package (and all the broken
core font packages we have right now) was modified before I even launched the
Font SIG idea. I didn't break anything. I didn't touch this package. It would be
broken the same way if I hadn't done any font work. Now people find out core
fonts are broken, I only ask they find clean solutions that do not clash with
what we've done for other font systems, and document them so we don't hit the
same problems in 20 different packages.

Core font users are used to the comfortable position where someone else fixes
their problems for them. Big news: core font system is not critical enough
anymore for this to happen. Stop complaining about the SIG the SIG didn't break
anything, core fonts basically broke because no one was caring enough anymore to
write good guidelines and check they actually work. The fix is to actually step
up to write the guidelines, not rant about the SIG in bugs.
