that idea is hard to maintain the rule. as you are aware, even current rule is outdated. maintaining it in the font packages with the accurate policy would rather be better than centralized management.
I don't think so. I am not saying this must be included in fontconfig upstream (which get updated slowly), we can certainly create a new package which only include these CJK specific config files. Even fontconfig have similar files, we can still ship something to override if it gets updated. But the key idea is not to let individual font to do this. Functional-wise, they are completely equivalent.
aside from that, it just reflects your favorite someone may not likes. one could do modify it any time, but it may breaks after updating or causes the unwanted file creation on the packaging management system. applying the necessary rules with installing the package would be easier and intuitive.
Either way does not prevent people from customizing their own list. As I said, they are simply equivalent.
