It is important to remember that gEDA does have a lot of users who are
happy with it the way it is. Any changes that affect its out of box
behaviour should be avoided at all costs. There are also users who want to
see gEDA continue to grow with new functions and support for more modern
software environments. We are currently shipping it on the software
equivalent of 3.5 in floppies. At some point we may have to split off a
"son of gEDA" with no expectations of backwards compatibility. When that
happens the original code will bit rot into oblivion.

I'v noticed several default selections that are never what I actually need.
All of these should be set in the system-gschemrc file so that each user
can customize them for their own preferences.
