Respectfully the freecad program is more like an interface to the opencascade kernel. I don't think the freecad people could just code a replacement because they suddenly felt like it. Using freecad which is totally depended on opencascade for this feature is effectively adding opencascade as a dependency. Has anyone looked at BRL-Cad integration. They have API's and import/export functions for most formats. BRL-Cad is totally open source.
