Comment (by tidux):

 Debian fontconfig changelog shows RGBA hinting was available as a runtime
 configuration option as early as 2004:

 http://metadata.ftp-
 master.debian.org/changelogs/main/f/fontconfig/fontconfig_2.11.0-6.7_changelog

 Fedora has allowed RGBA hinting as a runtime configuration basically as
 long as Debian has.  Fedora 24 and later defaults to RGBA hinting, as
 referenced in the "return to defaults" section of this article:
