Coincidentally speaking, a while ago (as a matter of fact this was last week),
I was reading about a heated discussion that happened a few decades
ago in which you said:

«i don't know the difference between input and font encoding and i
don't know what tfm and afm files contain and what they are used for,
and i don't know how to implement and use the right font /char handling
macros  etc etc; but i *do* know and listen when a user who actually
uses some glyphs complains about something»

And I don't want to stir up anything here either, but if the convention of
using non-official vs official fonts is the new de facto under lmtx, 
I guess my opening question is invalid by all acounts
