It's true that the FOSS fontscape is sparse, but - there is still too much for
us to bundle, even if we limit ourselves to just metric-equivalents.

Let's consider the metric equivalents we know about so far. How often have
locations for these fonts changed? How often have new ones been added? IIANM,
years go by with no changes. One just has to add a unit test to check the
links.

That's certainly very important, but I wouldn't say that detracts from the
relevance of this bug.
