Comment (by superpoincare):

 Replying to [comment:11 leobaiano]:

 I think the way to do it is using wp_resource_hints() introduced in
 Worpress 4.6.

 This is because it gives the optionality of dequeueing it. An example
 scenario would be: someone using the Twenty Twelve theme and decides to
 not use Open Sans and use system fonts instead.

 But the way to undo it using your patch would be to add a header.php in
 the child theme and remove the lines, which people may not like, since
 many times people just use child style.css and functions.php.

 So the best way to preconnect is in functions.php of the bundled themes
 with a condition that if the fonts are in the queue, add a preconnect.

 This way someone who is using say a Twenty Twelve theme and has dequeued
 Google fonts in his/her child theme is unaffected.
