I just skimmed the entire thread again, and yes, this has been requested
a few times but no one from the WMF Design team has responded with that
analysis (or if would respond with an analysis). The first time it was
requested the person was told to ask the Design list, then the next
message CC'd the design list, but no response on that point.

I don't see much on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh
nor it's talk page. Nor
