Comment 1 Nikolaus Waxweiler 2017-08-13 17:15:43 UTC
Closing for now, as these alternates may not be necessary for an oblique as opposed to a true italic. May reopen depending on the future direction of Cantarell.
Comment 2 Denis Jacquerye 2017-08-13 20:23:41 UTC
Some of these alternates are required for upright (and thus also for oblique). For example,  in upright, U+0431 б should look different in Serbian than in Russian.

Woops :D
