To make changes to this package see:

Does anyone have a clue about this? I don't recall a message on devel, and
I can't see any obvious reason why it would be retired instead of
orphaned.

Perhaps because Google is just another distributor, not the foundry?

Packages are retired when they become unmaintainable or are replaced by a
better alternative, not because they are poorly named. Our use of the word
"foundry" is rather loose in many font package names.

Hmm, Lato hasn't changed its status since it was launched, as far as I know.

This package was just renamed from "google-lato-fonts" to
"lato-fonts".
No idea why.
