Fair point. I think I was trying to keep packages small as it's likely users
would only use one of the three in each set, however, I suspect that within a
family they're quite similar and compression can take care of the rest.

Do you mean like fonts/noto-*? I'm not that familiar with ports.
As Iosevka's releases happen in tandem across all families the subdir approach
initially strikes me as a bit more laboursome to update many Makefiles. That is
in contrast to say Noto where Emoji, CJK and main all have different release
schedules. I'll happily give it a go, however.
