I'm unsure we have someone in the team/around who knows enough about
font rendering to weigh in.  I would go forward now with the update
because I feel like it's a safer road for the LTS to land changes
earlier than later, that time we get one buffer nonLTS cycle to get
feedback sort out issues (also based on the fact that even if there are
bugs they aren't obvious on a default installation and we can still fix
special cases between now and release or in a SRU)
