Why was agfa-fonts dropped?

Without this package, the font Sans used by the desktops (at least
GNOME) for all text in windows, icons, menus, etc. looks really horrible
(think Ubuntu).

In previous versions, when installing from the DVD this package would be
installed by default.

This one was reported:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-09/msg00538.html
Apparently Liberation Fonts
(http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/05/09/liberation-fonts/) are seen
like a good enough open alternative (I have not even tested them, but
I believe openSUSE).
