We already provide the Flat.swc as an optional. Should be straightforward to do the same for FontAwesome5, if we think that will help us grow. But if an ALv2-compatible version has enough market share, that should be our preference.

If we get some traction, hopefully the CreateJS, Jquery, Flat, and Cordova folks will take over the starter SWCs we are currently providing as a POC.
