--- Comment #1 from Erik van Pienbroek <erik-fedora at vanpienbroek.nl> ---
The commit your referring to dates back from the time when the Fedora MinGW
toolchain was in its initial development phase where there was still quite of
lot of experimenting going on and packaging guidelines were yet to be written.
Back then the packages weren't added to Fedora yet.

As far as I know there hasn't been any real rationale for disabling the static
libraries in this case so I don't see any problems with re-adding the static
libraries for freetype in a separate subpackage (as is also done with various
other mingw packages)
