I don't think there are any strict time constraints. It is just that
we are going to switch to format-independent package names for fonts
in Debian and thus need to decide for one font format or the other -
we are not going to ship a font in more than one format anymore unless
strictly necessary. One of the reasons that might keep us from
switching the freefonts package to OTF format is that it still is the
prefered font for the texttopdf filter and that it currently needs
this font in TTF format.
