Google's crosextrafonts in Extra?

We have in Extra ttf-croscore metric compatible replacements for Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New -- there is also ttf-liberation in Community, but it is superseded by ttf-croscore at this point (as of version 2.00, liberation is actually a croscore fork). Can we have a package ttf-crosextrafonts (ttf-croscore-extra?) with Carlito (Calibri metric compatible) and Caladea (Cambria metric compatible) too? (or one package for each one, like ttf-carlito/ttf-caladea from AUR)

They are kind of MS's modern (shipped since Windows Vista) Arial and Times New Roman. In MS Office 2007+ Calibri is the default font and having equivalent available would help for LibreOffice. IMO these fonts should be in Extra or at minimum in Community.

fontconfig already has proper aliases for them.
