The only font in our repository which can profit from full hinting right now is DejaVu, which we do use as a default font on the desktop. But many languages cannot use DejaVu and need to use other fonts instead. For those and any other font on the system full hinting would be a disadvantage. We can set hinting to full selectively for DejaVu only (and any font which comes with instructions) in the font package. However, I don't know if this works correctly as I didn't see any visual difference on my system when trying this. Need to investigate further. Also, if you use a dpi setting higher than 125 or so, you may want to disable hinting altogether.
