Just to be clear: the Fonts packaging guidelines that FPC has been reviewing since last year mandates the conversion and forbids the packaging of deprecated formats. And, user feedback since then has shown making the deprecated formats available in addition to OpenType, not only creates the usual rendering mess when apps choose different glyphs sources in slightly different conditions, but also triggers app bugs.
