The CSS Working Group just discussed `Remove font-variant @font-face descriptor from Fonts 3`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Remove font-variant @font-face descriptor from Fonts 3`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;mstange> Topic: Remove font-variant @font-face descriptor from Fonts 3<br>
&lt;mstange> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2531<br>
&lt;mstange> myles: We have two text paths. In WebKit. The distinction which path to go to has to happen before font fallback.<br>
&lt;mstange> ... Sometimes we detect something too late and can't go back and re-do everything, so we just do our best.<br>
&lt;mstange> ... If this is not necessary for the web platform, let's remove it.<br>
&lt;mstange> fantasai: It does look like there is an implementation (faceless2 says it in the issue)<br>
&lt;mstange> ... If the feature doesn't have a problem, we should leave it. We do not need implementations to move this spec at the moment.<br>
&lt;mstange> myles: When is the deadline? It's been years.<br>
&lt;mstange> Rossen_: This is a non-verifiable implementation. How do we evaluate it?<br>
&lt;Rossen_> q?<br>
&lt;mstange> drott: We would support removing it because the semantics are unclear in some cases.<br>
&lt;mstange> heycam: We would also be fine with removing it. We haven't heard much demand from authors.<br>
&lt;mstange> ... In principle it seems like a useful thing, but we would be fine with removing it.<br>
&lt;mstange> Rossen_: Any objections to removing it?<br>
&lt;mstange> Rossen_: No objections.<br>
&lt;mstange> RESOLVED: Remove font-variant @font-face descriptor from Fonts 3<br>
