Ok, makes sense.

Not necessarily for now. I just sponsor it if you are fine with that.

By now we are shipping the URW fonts in TeX Live without links
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/)
Is the coverage of the new gsfonts/fonts-urw as wide as the coverage
of the fonts currently in TeX Live? Or, in other words, is it a
complete replacement?
IN this case I can arrange that in the next upload of TeX Live packages
we do *not* ship the fonts, but dpend on fonts-urw* and link to the
files.
