I think this behavior is problematic. A version number of the form x.y.z (with a changed z) colloquially implies that this release does not contain backwards-incompatible changes. This is obviously not the case here. While I think about your solution, I think it actually worsens the problem. Now it is not guaranteed that my configuration will ever be usable across distributions, since the packager of Debian may have made a different choice w.r.t. this parameter than the packager of Fedora. So here's what I propose: - Release a 2.7.2 based off the tag VER-2-7-1 that reverts this patch without adding anything to reinstantiate this behavior. - Save the patch for a later, larger release (either 2.8 or 3.0, depending on the versioning scheme you choose) Otherwise I think it's very likely that either a.) some distributions disable this feature and some don't b.) some font authors blank those additional fields to ensure a consistent name across platforms. Neither is desirable.
