I think we need something more subtle than nodrc. Having DRC turned
off for a specific footprint or any other board area is just as bad as
having DRC return bogus warnings/errors.

The reality is that these structures are not footprints but functional
elements. They have design rules, just very different ones with higher
orders of complexity. We can't really have pcb process the full
complexity of these rules across the whole domain from DC to daylight
(or shorter) because of limitations in processing. It would also
require a level of developer time which is far past what pcb-* has
right now.

We need the ability to code plugins for DRC so we can tell pcb what
design rules to use and when. The set there are there right now are
good and should stay but you should be able to tag things as using one
drc plugin or the other.
