And every once in while some crazy person wants something completely unanticipated by the developers (like a graphical Makefile generator ;-). It’s thus the gnetlist core’s job to present the data to the backend, not to enforce rules.

I’m a guy who takes digital audio circuits, mixes them with 1950’s radar ideas, adds a sensor from strategic defense, and comes up with an instrument that can see gas swirling around a black hole at relativistic speed (https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/asca/gallery/mcg6.html). I *need* tools that support crazy ideas. ;-)
