Because I asked so. I'm a geda* list member since the mid 2000s, I know
how things can get done and how they get derailed.
If he wants this feature to be implemented in a pcb-rnd parametric
footprint, we'll need to have a productive, constructive discussion about
some details. You may like it or not, you may agree or disagree, but my
experience is that such a thing is more likely to happen in private than
on geda-help@. (Derailing has already started, just read back the last
few posts in the thread.)
In other words it's just my decision on how pcb-rnd feature requests are
done, just like your decision is using launchpad for pcb. Looking at how
many feature requests we handle succesfully, it looks like my model is
efficient.

All pcb-rnd (and related) code are public. The only thing that can keep
you from the benefits is your own decision.
Parametric footprints are almost 2 years old. All related code was public
all the time. If any new code is written for an IPC-smt parametric
footprint, it will be public from day 0 in our public svn.
Does pcb support those parametric footprints?
