Is it worthwhile asking the RHEL guys to consider creating a Harfbuzz package?

From a comment in that bug I believe the only reason we now statically link Harfbuzz is because 
RHEL doesn't have a package. Previously we also did it was because of ABI stability issues, but 
these are apparently no longer a problem.

That would not help, even if it were likely to happen. Our builds do not
target RHEL-6 specifically, they just use RHEL-6 as a baseline. Any
other few years old linux system will likely either not have harfbuzz or
it will have an old incompatible version.
