If we use the power of the architecture, we can make those changes =
without the hazard. We have a transparent file format and a powerful =
scripting facility. One source of this controversy is that many =
developers won=92t use Scheme. Fine, but then you can=92t responsibly =
work on improving gschem or gnetlist because everything not in Scheme =
takes away from the flexibility.
