It's always tricky when you remove old stuff; we don't want to risk any changes that could affect a usecase no matter how obscure. It's not something to rush or do lightly. However, your rationale makes sense. There's an additional pieces of information that I think helps me reach a decision. kfontinst (the font install kcm) does call mkfontscale/mkfontdir If they don't use kfontinst to install fonts that's their problem. No reason for us to do it on load Ship it!
