 ### Noteworthy release notes
   - Thanks Guido Ferreyra for updating the TypeNetwork profile based on its "pending_review" list of recent checks that had been added since his last review (summary of changes listed below). **Other profile owners should consider doing the same.** (PRs #4878 and #4882)

 ### Changes to existing checks
 ### On the Google Fonts profile
   - **[googlefonts/fvar_instances]:** Skip if font has MORF axis. We allow designers to define their own custom fvar instances if the font has a Morph axis. They spend a significant amount of time drawing custom shapes for this axis so it is the right call imo. (PR #4880)
