From an explorative chat between @behdad and @drott:
If we were able to tell whether a variation axis change affects layout or not (important metrics: horizontal or vertical advance width, ascent, descent & glyph variations: rvrn...other?) then there is the potential to skip layout and animate only the glyph shape, allowing a rendering engine to skip layout for a variation axis change.
@behdad mentions it's theoretically possible to add API to HarfBuzz to determine whether axes trigger layout-sensitive changes.
Leaving this here to track, if we decide to come back to it.
