Frankly, if the rift is deep enough there's no hope of producing a Liberation
version that satisfies everyone, it would be better to have to different family
names, with fontconfig substitution rules that make each one a valid
replacement for the other if it's not installed on the system.
The fontconfig rules will keep software happy and the different names will
force humans to take a choice instead of talking past one another like is the
case right now.
