I have schematics that still have promoted attributes that shouldn=92t =
have been promoted due to the change in the default, maybe 5 years ago. =
That still occasionally creates trouble.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/geda/+bug/1014160 caused me to release a =
broken design. I still hate the feature, but nothing will get in the way =
of developers who prefer clever to simple.
Subtle problems get released and cause harm before they=92re noticed. =
Definitely foul.

assume that you lack clairvoyance.
