Do you mean the patch for parameter substitution[1,2]? I'd guess that,
since that's quite a relevant change, the developers didn't want to just
apply it without prior discussion.
I had a quick glance at the patch, and it seems what you have been doing
is roughly equivalent to the parameter substitution patch I submitted a
while ago in the experimental netlister feature branch[3]. I just rebased
that branch to the current HEAD and pushed it as "home/rlutz/experimental"
to the geda-gaf repository, so you can use it right now by using that
branch and setting
(set! use-new-frontend #t)
in your gnetlistrc file. The user-visible differences to your patch are
that substitution values are defined with "subst=NAME=value" and
referenced with "$(NAME)".

If it hadn't been for this requirement, I'd have reported gEDA bugs much
earlier. Maybe we should change that policy?
