Correct. The more I dig into the codebase the more I see redundant codepaths
that need to be removed. I now believe that freetype2 design suffers from
serious second-system syndrome [0], and it's our job to clean it up.

I think from my latest patchset to the state you desire is a very short
change. At any rate, as long as you remove one codepath, I'm happy.
Thanks!
