Comment (by smartyp):

 Replying to [comment:10 Otto42]:
 > It can break in edge cases like intranets and country blocking, and it
 ties a fairly important piece of the core to some external provider, which
 can break or go down or just change out from underneath us.

 But doesn't having the fallback (and/or an override option) mitigate all
 of this?

 Seems like an awesome win to me (in terms of stated objectives) for the
 vast majority of WP powered sites. Leaving it to plugins doesn't achieve
 the big potential gains.

 And core has previously relied on Google for Fonts.
