Re: gEDA-user: gnetlist l and m options

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I am doing my own thing rather then being limited by existing
capabilities but I am still interested in why do one thing or another?
One way that a NASA human factors researcher friend of mine approaches
usability requirements is to dream up as many senerios as possible,
prioritize them and grades the propossed solutions against the
prioritized list. Earlier I posted such a list. If the point of the
netlister is to set up the data structures in preperation for exporting
them via the backend then what is accomplished post back end?

The continued existence of some feature just because it is there even if
it is not used that limits or makes substantial improvements difficult
doesn't make sense to me.

Leaving such code in place is just another form of clutter.
Unfortunantly such clutter is a hallmark of the geda code base.
Unfortunantly code clutter makes code more difficult to understand and
hence more difficult for others to improve.
