Description
The FL, fl, TL "traditional" ligatures are weird (in the sense that we are not used to reading them in the modern age) which is jarring and hurts legibility in code—the point of this font. Please disable them by default and make them a stylistic set like traditional numbers, or make some way to easily build with them disabled.
Ideally, your build process needs a way to toggle options like these and the stylistic sets at build time, which could, in turn, be passed on to package managers like homebrew.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the font build process and how traditional ligatures and stylistic sets are configured. Done means FL, fl, and TL ligatures are disabled by default while remaining selectable as a stylistic set or through a build-time option.
