Subject: bug#61521: "default" is now the first item returned from (font-faces), breaking various code.

Various code seems to expect "default" to be the /last/ item in the list returned by that function, not the first. For example, this comment in faces.el:

Can you perhaps clarify what you mean by "that function"?  The subject line of your bug report mentions 'font-faces', but no such function exists in Emacs.

Apologies: I meant to write "face-list".


Thanks. It seems the change you describe is not a recent one: the first element of the list returned by 'face-list' is 'default' in Emacs 27, 28, 29 and 30. (This is caused by e3b8ddd500, since which frame faces are stored in a hash table instead of an alist.)

Given this, and the fact that the docstring of 'face-list' does not specify the order in which the faces are returned, it's not clear to me that there is a bug here. Code that assumes a given order should probably be fixed.
