At this point I don't want to tell the svgtranslate people to move backwards, so this change needs to stay in place. If, as I suspect, it's easier to maintain things if the change is made in other images as well, then let's do that.
I agree we should not tell the svgtranslate people to move back to the grid. I don't have a strong opinion on whether these fonts should be in the PHP images or in the base images.
This choice is not meant to guide future policy, though. This particular horse is already out of the barn, but going forward the answer for new feature requests in the shared images should be 1) work around it 2) wait for build packs, or 3) get consensus among people on this mailing list. I would expect #3 to happen rarely if at all.
+1 to this approach.
