Yes, thanks, that's a good idea. It's at the schematic entry stage when
you're choosing refdes values, so it would be handy to mention it there,
even though strictly it's a pcb issue, not gEDA/gaf. Sorry I missed the
pcb manual bit - I could have saved myself and others some time and also
some noise on this list if I'd seen it.
