Terry's configuration actually does something slightly different,
though. Your snippet turns on full font hinting; his not only does that,
it also disables autohinting. (That can be omitted by cutting out part
of his config, which is superior in abstract terms, but using it
verbatim will have that result.)

Some people may want to do both, others may only want to do one, and
still others may want to do something different from both. Depending on
exactly what font settings you had in place prior to the upgrade, that
may require different configuration snippets.

The information so far present in this bug mainly just points to where
the configuration changes to revert the behavior need to be made and
what format they need to be in, with hints about what settings are
supported by the software. A comprehensive listing of possibly relevant
configuration options for this is almost certainly out of scope.
