Hans,
Javier (just dreaming of a merge of xetex and luatex...)
that dream will not come true ... the wole idea of luatex is not
to hard
code things but to permit whatever solutions
I guess you are tired (understandably) of hearing things like
this. Actually I was thinking of projects/attempts to use harfbuzz
with luatex. Just to have the possibility to choose.

Already done and published :

I bet that the next one will be
" it would be nice if luatex supports variable fonts...."
And the answer would be: we already do for quite a while but it's not
luatex itself that does it but hooked in lua code, which proves the
concept. (Microsoft now has a variable font in the latest windows 10
update.)
