Description
Take e.g. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cantarell-fonts, roundtrip to UFO and back.
I suppose there is a case for storing production names in the UFO, but storing them in the glyphs file again if they are the same as the default?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the Cantarell-fonts roundtrip from the issue, converting from .glyphs to UFO and back. Inspect the resulting .glyphs file and compare production names with their defaults; done means names identical to the default are not written redundantly while necessary production names remain preserved.
