Would it help if we move that to the end of the file? My primary motivation for leaving this is to try to attract someone to get involved in maintaining and developing font.c and fontset.c. We've all but lost our only expert on this, and leaving this part of Emacs without an active maintainer is bad for us. I might even add a comment there that encourages people to finish implementation of at least some of that stuff, in the hope that this will bring on board someone capable and motivated.
