VariableFonts id4

I’ve noticed that the Mac ID4 for all non-variable fonts also now has the ‘Regular’ added to the ‘FontName’ in 2.4. Previously Mac ID4 ‘FontName’ had no ‘Regular’ appended but other weights did have a weight assigned.

A quick check of the name table in OTM highlights this as a potential issue, which I’m aware is probably lagging behind the latest specs:

I’m curious about how/why ‘Regular’ was added to ID4 in 2.4? I’m guessing maybe as part of the OT1.8 standards? makeotf?
