I imagine Xorn as an alternate way to edit and process schematics, =
unencumbered by the need to be backward compatible in every detail, =
since gschem and gnetlist will still exist.

If it=92s better than gschem and gnetlist, I=92ll use it. If it=92s not, =
I won=92t. I might use a mix. I do that with text editors, why not with =
