I think it=92s great to have KiCAD cover the integrated tool space, so =
gEDA can cover the toolkit space without having to excessively =
integrate.

I=92m doing more with gEDA than ever before. I see no serious bit rot =
problems. Stability is a good thing. I don=92t buy the idea that you =
need developers to fix what isn=92t broken.

The nice thing about a toolkit is that you can work in new tools without =
compromising the stability of the kit.

This is good, too. As I=92ve said before, the hard part about interop is =
that KiCAD seems to be a sealed world: I can=92t find docs on internals.
