There is an underlying, false, assumption in all this furore over
times.sty vs nftimes.sty vs times3.sty; this is that we know to put in
a `times.sty'. the current nftimes.sty, for instance, changes the
romans, sans and tt families. it might changes just the roman; or just
the roman and tt; or it might load Times as the maths text font, like
the ill-fated timesmat.sty.

The style files are *suggestions*, not concepts cast in stone
