I opened a discussion about Montserrat latest unexpected font weight change and get a response from a " Google Fonts collection manager" as he called himself JulietaUla/Montserrat#60 (comment)

to host the font on my own if I wish. So basically we cant rely on Google fonts anymore and you dont care about the drastic changes the font developers make to the fonts we use.

So we can expect that any of them change their font to Comic sans, you would not care and would simply issue an update.

How is this ok ? Why is it that you dont review the changes and advise that the font should be either up versioned on Google font and dont allow the submission if the change is drastic.

Why do you employ people that are actually telling us NOT to use the Google font but rather host it on our own.
