Not really for the official specs, but for green light that the COLRv1
stuff is OK to be published as experimental but stable.

Thanks a lot for that!

I have no opinion on that. If you think this should be further
discussed I suggest that you do it now :-) On the other hand, I
think there *was* some discussion regarding 8bit vs 16bit. Have you
looked up the freetype-devel mailing list archive? I seem to remember
that there were good reasons for 16bit.
