It feels unfortunate to introduce another breaking release so soon after 7.0.0. Is there any opportunity to not remove the two fonts and keep them around, maybe in a deprecated state for a while?

I would lean towards not since it's not worth the additional tech debt. At the same time, we've been adhering to the convention that any font removal results in a major version bump. Also, I've gotten confirmation from the fonts team that they'll generate this quarterly, so we could consider this one exceptionally 2 months early (should land the woff2 update first) how does that sound?

As it currently stands on how releases are done for this package and as a user/dev, in my experience, being worried about a major (breaking) release, based on time scale shouldn't even be a factor. It's better to give users the updates ASAP; they can choose to update or not, and at least they'll know about the breaking changes sooner than later to make appropriate adjustments.

I'm also on board that font removals should be a breaking change too. The whole package is about fonts and when one is removed, it could break a project.

A way around it for both the points I mentioned is to change how releases are done. My suggestion would be to add a @deprecated annotation for fonts that are to be removed and eventually remove them on a scheduled time interval. Then you can choose when to do a major release.
