bug#32337: 26.1; display-line-numbers-mode makes cursor ill-aligned when number face is changed

[Carlos Pita]

Well there wasn't a lot of activity in the polls and you already have
read them, Eli, so I don't know, it doesn't seem to be interest on
fixing this nor consensus about how to do it.

The only alternative that wouldn't bother anyone (except for you and
other maintainers) is to add a new face for the inactive part of the
line number display that inherits from the default face. But you're
not willing to do that AFAICS so I would rather just close this and
live with the issue. Is it ok?
