Excluding fonts-noto-extra from the base system sacrifices support for 39 writing systems just to save less than 400 MiB. It feels unreasonable for a general-purpose distro.

Admittedly, forcing all users to install ~400 MiB of fonts they may never use could be seen as unfair. However, at the very least, GNU/Linux communities that rely on these writing systems should actively support and promote distros that include fonts-noto-extra by default.
