[I am not involved with this effort in any intimate level nor am I

pretty busy so getting official answers is going to take sometime. I
will answer these to my best of my knowledge. If you want further
clarifications I would have to get back to him]
I think core fonts are a highly user-visible part of the distribution,
and it would be better if the people @rh behind this project presented
it on fedora-devel before people learn of it through a press release.
This development is probably positive but the communication choices so
far are not too community-oriented (which is a pity since the
licensing choices imply a community orientation)
I doubt I've exhausted the questions people will want answers to.
