Footprints are an interesting topic. The thing is, many people want
to make small variations on standardized footprints, myself included.

There are different reasons to do so, one is to simplify hand
assembly, another is to adjust for board fab parameters.

I think a new data model for (among other things) footprints which
includes such parameters would be useful, and I would love to spend
a month or two working on that, but I'm not able to do so at the
moment. :\
