There are some issues.
. NORMAL currently means full auto-hinting, i.e., hinting along both
the horizontal and vertical axes. I believe we can't change that.
. Since NORMAL already comes with horizontal hinting, there is no need
for `warp'.
. Do all people agree that `warp' is a rendering improvement?
So: What exactly do you mean with `migrate from LIGHT to NORMAL'?

For LIGHT, I'm not sure that we can do that for backward
compatibility... For me, this was one of the reasons for suggesting a
new auto-hinting mode. IMHO, it's a very bad idea to change such a
fundamental property.
