I didn't even know (or maybe simply forgot) that Fedora reverted back
to using Liberation 1.x for quality concerns. If this is still the
case, as you state it, we should maybe follow suit and simply re-upload
the previous package as 1:1.07.4-2 (i.e. with an epoch).

Fabian, re-uploading with epoch 1 seems like a good solution (1:1.07.4-2). Adding an epoch is exactly how Fedora implemented the switch back to Liberation 1:

I am not a font expert and have no opinion on the relative merits of hinting in Liberation 1 versus croscore.

Kind regards,
