Renaming the latest version to avoid regressions

[m4rc1e]

At the end of last year, I finally finished mastering the latest sources, #542. Unfortunately, we felt that the changes were so large that is justified a new name (see google/fonts#4077). @EbenSorkin I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on this?

We've previously had this issue with Crimson Text. We decided to release the update as Crimson Pro.

Parallel to this question, there are some fixes to Merriweather that really should go in to the the old non-flex version. Things about Cyrillic letter shapes especially but other things too. It might be worth separating things that we would call 'major bug fixes' and things we would call 'changes/regressions'. Marc - could we meet to discuss this next week sometime? Should we wait until Dave is back? What makes best sense?

Agreed, I believe subspacing the new Merriweather to its opsz-6, wdth-100, to get the full set of weights, should be a clean upgrade to the existing family. No need to wait for me, I think Marc can handle this among his other priorities in Q2.

There might be some nuance to that that Marc wants to assert. I'm open to learning about it if that's the case.
