This. We should go back to the community asking for this and get them to decide on a suitable free font similar to Helvetica since they have brought us into this discussion. Right now it seems like the camp that is agnostic about free fonts (myself included) is struggling to find a suitable alternative which seems unfair. If someone wants to see something happen they should be prepared to help make that happen.
