Sorry, it's not very clear to me why can't we create another font to have an alternative with greciliae, leaving the first one as it is and adding the new options in the new font... Please, may someone help me to understand?
I think what Élie is trying to avoid is creating a new font which is largely identical to an existing font with just a few glyphs changed. If we start introducing whole new fonts for simple changes to a handful of glyphs, then we can rapidly get a huge number of fonts which are mostly identical. This is what the glyph substitution commands are supposed to be for.
Now, if you wanted to create a new font which used one of the existing fonts as a fall back for shapes you hadn't yet redesigned, I don't think that would be an issue.
