By all means solicit review, maybe post some key patches to the (developer) list, but don't accept random (as opposed to well-founded) preferences as blockers if you disagree and have a better plan. I certainly support migrating existing gEDA tools to use xorn C code. I think limited breakage is acceptable during development if it can't be avoided, but not for a release. And of course it's better if it can be avoided. :) //Peter
