I have to agree here.  I wasted quite a bit of money and time on
boards produced with holes that were too small.  The .1" headers and
SMA connector are one example.

Somebody said that handmade single-sided boards can use the smaller
holes.  This _may_ be true, but they could also use the larger holes
without trouble.  The library should be fixed or removed, not left as
is with a warning.
