Which is exactly my argument against shipping fonts that users cannot get rid
of. All those who don't care about compatibility, use own templates, don't want
the Noto overkill... IMHO the extension solution gives users more freedom.

My take:
Summary: "Make fonts extensionizable"
Hardware/platform: All
Blocks: <none>
