Comment:

 #55985 replaces Google Fonts URLs, which would make `preload` less
 valuable than before.

 Choosing precisely which font files everyone would need could be tricky,
 both with different character subsets and with browser support of WOFF2
 vs. WOFF. I opened #57807 in case the (previously) existing translations
 could be valuable to developers who want to use `preload` in individual
 sites or plugins. However, I'm not sure it's worth trying that in the
 themes now.

 For the `font-display` property, I agree with the decision on #47282 to
 make `fallback` the default choice (at least for Twenty Twelve to Twenty
 Seventeen). The `swap` value is better for something where the font is
 highly important, such as a logo, and site owners did not select these
 fonts themselves.
