Does anyone have a legitimate, realistic, technically sound reason why "Libertine Sans" should be chosen over Arial other than "it's free and open sourced"?
Note than "it's free and open sourced" is an important reason when we are "dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual content".
It's Liberation Sans. We're not talking about a zero-sum choice, just about the order.
Is there a reason not to default to Liberation Sans and have Arial as secondary choice?
About i18n not covered by Liberation Sans, it would be useful to identify the default free typefaces to be used for other scripts. No need to organize a research on this, just documenting at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Typography the best options as we need / find them is better than having nothing.
