Nice.

Great!
We am using ltspice to complement hands-on electronics experience with
in an undergrad lab. Even with this product and no need for precision
there are issues when digital meets analogue.=20

The absence of such a basic library is sort of kept me from using gedas
ability to support simulation in the first place. So this step alone
will be well received by me :-)

Agreed. In this day and age git is the way to go for this kind of
projects.

I agree, a decent library of models is critical. It is sorely missing in
FOSS land, too.
