Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 > it seems the crux of the disagreement is whether we think that opening
 an API for plugins to upload files to a folder of their choosing knowing
 that they can already do it (in a a less straightforward way).

 This is an accurate comment.

 The question I've been asking is different, though: is preventing plugins
 from bypassing the `font_dir` improved by easily allowing plugins to
 bypass the `uploads_dir` filter (and therefore offloading plugins)?

 Making a decision based exclusively on the code required for the font
 library, I don't think it is. Knowing what will be required by future core
 features may change my opinion but I don't know what is being proposed.

 Historically I have been the person to suggest my own commits be reverted
 or improved, I regret comments that I care more about having lines of code
 in core than improving WP but what is said is said.

 Can I please get an answer to my question above before proceeding furhter.
