Because problems have made it to release and corrupted schematics or =
netlists before anybody noticed. Yanking things from the repo does not =
recall them from the field.

I assume that they have the best of intentions. I am concerned that many =
who want change seem to have a poor understanding of what already =
exists. Certainly if you haven=92t mastered Scheme, you have no business =
changing the existing geda-gaf core. But new tools are welcome.

I hope they=92ll be fixed by the next generation of tools, not by doing =
drastic things to the working tools we have now.
