Sure it would be better; but I don't have the cycles myself. All I can do right
now is to try to make sure no new dubious files make it in the distro.

The basic rule is: if a fontconfig pattern is not documented in
fontpackages-devel it is wrong for Fedora, and no pattern gets in
fontpackages-devel without approval from Behdad and eventually discussion on
the fonts list. That's the only way to make everyone converge and avoid
different packagers making conflicting decisions.

In an ideal world someone would write the xslt rules to check that existing
files conform to documented patterns, and integrate them in repo-font-audit
(and packagers would actually act on repo-font-audit reports).

Also, it would be nice if somehow wrote a xslt script or another command that
actually displayed in human-readable form the priority stack configured on a
system (fc-list output unfortunately depends on the fonts installed on-system,
so depending on local fonts the same conf will yield different results. Which
is not a way to do reliable QA)

Interested people can send me fontpackages patches or ask for fontpackages git
access.
