I still don't see why we need to drop either of them. Do we drop pcb and 
go for kicad? Or do we drop kicad and go for pcb? Or rather both pcb and 
kicad exist and will go on existing...

We have a mainline with all the opengl support which seems to be very 
popular, and pcb-rnd with scripting. You can even combine them: do your 
design in pcb and load it in pcb-rnd when you want to run interactive 
scripts on it.

It's like that use case reported some weeks ago: use the gtk HID for most 
edits and use the lesstif HID for whatever feature that works better 
there.

I really can't do more than offer commit rights in the repo so you can get 
it to work. If everyone needs it but noone does it, it just won't happen.
