+  ;; Fira Sans v4.203 (which corresponds to Fira Mono v3.206) is the final
+  ;; version to include UFO sources. It is the same version packaged by other
+  ;; notable distributors, including Google Fonts. Note that the "reserved
+  ;; font name" was removed by the copyright holders.
+  ;;
+  ;; The upstream release includes a "Fira Code" which "is Fira Mono 3.206
+  ;; with less Line Space (1.0) – does not include programming ligatures". We
+  ;; do not package that: our 'font-fira-code' package (like e.g. Debian's
+  ;; "fonts-firacode") is the much better known Fira Code font by Nikita
+  ;; Prokopov, which is an older, independent adaptation of Fira Mono. For the
+  ;; historical relationship between them, see:
+  ;; https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/218
