The question is: What do you actually want to do with FontV? Is this
really required for what you have in mind?
Secondly, I cannot see why the OS split would make such a big
difference. Even if the OS was not split, your software would only
work on a new version of the OS with this feature present and would
fail to work on 99.9% of RISC OS systems that do not have that very
latest version installed.
Finally, if there is a good reason for FontV support I cannot see why
it could not be implemented in both source trees. Of course,
deployment to users would require a new end-user version, but that
affects both branches.
