Well, I prefer no hinting with subpixel AA (i.e. _LCD) on my 120dpi
laptop but light hinting with subpixel AA (_LCD) on my 100dpi
desktop. Surely there are people who have even different preferences
and there is no single best choice.

Given the timeframe and the maybe-riskyness of i64508 I'd prefer 1.)
But all that 1) does is change one hard coded default to another one,
or do I misunderstand it?
