And that matters in developer installs how? :-)

Distros and platforms can always turn it on if they want it. I expect
we'll have a LinuxLibreOffice distro profile soon again. And
sensible distro hopefully recommend some graphite font packages.

But even if we want to bundle Graphite fonts, why do I need 56 bundled
font files, when all we need is 7 graphite ones and opensymbol?

It is 20MB additional ballast to me.

Anyway, if this is what people really want, I'll just use that switch
locally.
