Sigh, as usual Eyal you've missed the point. I really would prefer not to
expend  the effort of cleaning up your messes, yet they keep coming...

Here there is no imperative that the fonts contributed as part of the Google
"DocRepair" project be removed.  Community member Collabora either had a direct
request for them or it was just a Dev's inkling to implement--end of story. End
of "process". As that is the means by which the project is maintained, features
are spawned, and dead/obsolete code is pruned.

If you more directly want/need something--code it up and submit patches for
peer review. Devs, aka Doers, decide. Then if there is a real reason to revert,
ESC would provide such guidance--user issues and trustee concerns should not be
beat to death in a BZ issue. Yet you do... 

Likewise, if for TDF concerns, the BoD takes up a sponsorship position of the
FOSS Google DocRepair project--granting it could be a means to support hosting
our own LibreOffice or Document Liberation font requirements (e.g. a home for
OpenSymbol)--that discussion and any guidance would filter down through ESC, or
be formally tendered by BoD.
