There are really two projects here: The original gEDA (now confusingly =
called geda-gaf), and pcb. I think everyone agrees that pcb needs a lot =
of work. On the other hand, geda-gaf is matiure, effective, and easy to =
extend with scripting. Pcb development requires a great deal of =
collaboration. Geda-gaf development mostly does not, as anybody can =
write and publish a script.
There would be much less controversy if these projects were separated. =
They represent radically different development patterns: conflating them =
causes much confusion and strife.
