Or let's phrase it the other way around: now, after putting your
work into geda-gaf without asking other geda-gaf developers you
want to put "legacy gnetlist" developers and users into a ghetto
preventing its developement and calling it "obsolete" just because
you're thinking it is so. What were incompatible changes you're
complaining about?

To make things clearer. I have a vision and continue the work
started by Peter Brett to introduce new configuration system. Next
step would be to modularize gnetlist and gsymcheck and make their
code usable in gschem. The most easy way as I see it is rewriting
two these program as Scheme modules and I've already did it with
gsymcheck and published the branch on github a year ago. The
situation in the repo prevented me to finish it and publish so I
waited long to see how much contribution your work will have to
decide on whether to continue or not. When I decided to continue,
well, I consider your act as an hostile intervention. You don't
want for some reason have programs to be separate while some users
asking them to be so.

It's just your vision. I don't want to step into
counter-productive discussion and fights.

I tried to enable your code in October. Looking at the repo
history I don't think you've cleaned up something since then. And
I have no motivation to look at it any more.
