I believe he advocated adding onto gnetlist to simply format this
extra data from the schematic into something everyone could use. To me
that makes perfect sense.

I don't actually see from any of this thread what plan you are advocating.

Everything I have done to this point was to use my effort to code
things that would pull in other people. I don't want to stay frozen.

I think my intent did not come out right here. I could point out how
but I don't feel like a debate, social aspects do not appeal to me.

I was wrong in my initial negative opinion of that.
