To repeat myself once again, core fonts are not free, they have a maintenance
cost, and none of the packagers that claimed using core fonts is not a problem
so far has made the logical step of taking charge of what they say is no
problem.

Either it is no problem, and you are ready to take it out of my hands, or it
is a problem, so stop pretending it is not and I'm unreasonable saying it is
so.
