Once a quality SVG template is made, the only thing the user needs to do is pick an appropriate font size, so while it takes a bit more initial work to create a template, it's much easier to use a template and the results are overall better.

The main question that isn't answered here is 'does it add new
translatable strings?' As long as the answer is 'no' (because
technically, this is just a refactor of a feature that existed at
string freeze), then it can go into 5.0, if the answer is 'yes'
however, then we'll have a problem and it might be wiser to put into
5.1
