The test engineers find these useful, but the reviewer was concerned that maintaining and checking the consistency of the tables with the design was a serious burden on the project. With an EDA tool, it would be. But gEDA is a toolkit, not a tool, and it plays well with other toolkits. So, the answer I gave was “I generate the tables and the netlists automatically from the same design data.” That was the end of the issue.
