I don't know what's the best thing to do. I just noticed the different 
metrics of the new Charis font version and thus decided to upload it to 
experimental instead of unstable.

Personally, I am not going to upload any older version of the same font 
to the archive myself. I have never used Charis before and I like the 
new spacing a lot more than the old one.

Any ideas?
