Wide review includes people outside of W3C, and having the latest CSS Fonts 4 publication one year out of date isn't really conducive to that. Can we get the draft updated?

[svgeesus]

No problem, especially since the current PING vs. I18n impasse plus the uncertainty about new generic font families means we won't be going to CR anytime soon.

[fantasai]

@svgeesus We can publish whenever we want... so we should publish as often as needed to keep /TR consistent with CSSWG consensus!
