Yes, that is another solution, and it does not
affect other backends, since that is a new
function "gnetlist:get-all-symbol-attributes"
which no backends called.

Although there are other Gnetlist frontend
solutions which have less impact on memory
footprint and performance, if you can get
Ales to approve it, I am for it. Then you
need to find out who is going to implement it.
Moreover, to fix the PCB's netlist whatever
problem, who is going to implement all the
changes needed in PCB backends?

Best Regards,
