Also fonts-noto-color-emoji is in the NEW queue. Mike, I wonder why Mozilla standardized on the Emojione font. Given Emojione's license shift and the fact that it appears like Linux distros prefer the Noto emoji, do you think Mozilla would reconsider? (Fedora 27 includes the Noto emoji by default. I expect Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to include fonts-noto-color-emoji by default. Probably Debian GNOME Buster too. It is the same emoji used by Google in the latest stock Android devices.) If I understand https://github.com/EmojiTwo/emojitwo/blob/master/Gruntfile.js#L404 correctly, we'll need to package a lot more node/grunt libraries to build emojitwo from source. Ubuntu does have a package for fonts-emojione (from before the license change). (It technically doesn't build the font from source either but uses a pre-compiled .ttf). Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
