I just learned that I had never provided my rationale for abandoning this ITP.
I do not believe this one meets our high standards, which is why I gave up on the ITP. Namely, I investigated the standards of the Font Team, saw how they were generating fonts, saw this was not possible with all-the-icons.el. I believe I also filed some bugs and/or attempted to contact our Font Team, but sadly never received a reply. At any rate, while I think font icons are a cool hack, others have expressed strong opinions about how font icons are an abomination that should DIAF. Supposing we did go ahead with uploading this, my concerns are: 1) trademarked images that are removed from the font-foo packages for DFSG reasons. 2) Conflicts with the system-wide font-foo packages and associated bug potential. 3) Missing collaboration with the Font Team.
