I've attached six screenshots.  The "nostemdarken" screenshots use that
package; the "stemdarken" screenshots use 2.6-2.  For each, I've
provided screenshots with hintfull, hintslight, and the autohinter.

I also checked gnome-terminal with DejaVu Sans, and I don't see any
rendering issues with the new package.

While I'd still love to see crisper rendering (and I'll likely continue
enabling autohint for Cantarell), these packages do provide a noticeable
improvement to rendering quality, and reduce the amount of smear on
stems.
