  Oh nono, that was about a dozen boards ago.  I'm doing more and more
in the 1GHz+ region (which Switcheroo is not) and I needed the
soldermask-removal support for microstrip and coplanar waveguides.

  It would be great to get that upstreamed, and maybe even into pcb-rnd.
 It looks like there's a huge amount of very good development happening
on that project.  As soon as there's transparency support, I'll be on
that like white on rice. :)
