Some ended up in the conventions table, some in the explanation of why not added in the table. Please review this document. It's long, but it is worth reading because this determines how pcb-rnd will handle some of the new cases (e.g. keepout) and how some of the old cases (e.g. assy and fab) will be changed. You _are_ affected by this. Even if you are doing 1 or 2 layer board etched in the kitchen. If nothing else, changes to the fab or assy handling could affect you. >3. the community revises/discusses the proposal (that's where the random >ideas should get in the system - deadline will be a few days, at most a >week) I'd like to code some of this next Friday, so the deadline for discussion should be around Wednesday. >4.

If you want to be part of the decision, please be timely and read and comment the RFC as soon as possible. The usual no-mixed-topic request applies: If you have comments, please start a new thread with a specific subject line for each different topic. Please do NOT write one large email where you collect all your ideas and observations while you are reading the RFC. I will not process such emails but will pong them back asking for a splitup. Please do NOT answer to such large emails but wait for the original author to re-send it in per topic emails. Any comment is welcome, but not all comments and recommendations will be built in - I have to filter and decide what goes and what does not. TIA, Igor2
