Don't worry, that was not my intention. If I wanted to get stats for schematics printing, I would have asked that on the cschem mailing list. As I wrote in the mail, I am moving code from pcb-rnd to librnd and I want to understand how these features are used in pcb-rnd at the moment. Anything I do in this step potentially affects pcb-rnd first: existing code, existing use cases, and I was asking the questions for that. I try to do responsible development here, which includes not "randomly removing or altering existing features" based on what makes sense on code level. (Other ringdove apps would be affected in a subsequent round only, once the code is already in librnd and other apps can access it. Since camv-rnd and sch-rnd don't have gui export yet, these are not-yet-existing cases there, so I can't break anything there. Which means it's easier and more flexible what we can do there.)
