Why LibreOffice installs ancient Gentium fonts in Windows?

LibreOffice 25.2.5 still installs Gentium Basic (2013) and Gentium Book Basic (2013) during setup.
These versions aren’t maintained since 2013. They are now called Gentium and Gentium Book, (‘Basic’ doesn’t exist anymore), see version history Previous Versions - Gentium
The current version of these fonts is 7.00 - june 2025: Gentium Release 7.000 - Gentium - Gentium Release 7.000
In my PC install script I install the current Gentium font, but after LibreOffice install I also get these old ‘basic’ fonts which I then remove by the same script.

So I would like to see that LO stops installing the old Gentium Basic fonts or - if they are required for font conversion, update them to the current version.
