much appreciated. I don't understand nor agree to all stated goals,
however. If you have something that I could quickly read to get the
rationale for the various proposed changes, I'd be really glad to go
and read that.

This sounds good, but you seem to require a certain minimum version of
Kicad, right? Checking out from OM and running Lenny's Kicad produced
less-than-satisfactory results... Either the repo is broken, or the
software is. Some clarification would be nice to have!


Kind regards,
