I guess you are refering to the push&shove router contributed by some
CERN people? What I heard was that it took long to get integrated into
the official release, maybe now it is. I have not the time to really
follow KiCad development, but most seems to be small patches only. Is
there progress with integration of the router of Alfons Wirtz? I have
seen at ohloh.org that they now have reduced the lines of code from
nearly one million to about 600k. It is large still.
