The pcbfwd backend works with the current version of gEDA/gaf, as should = any other backend, shipped or not.

The whole point of that backend = is that it is shipped with pcb, and can be updated as pcb needs change = from version to version.

It implicitly relies (of course), on the netlister API = being relatively stable, which had in the past been long standing geda = policy.

You'd need to = go to Bert (pcb project lead) for the official answer, but I suspect out = position here is "please don't" pull this particular netlist backend = "upstream" to geda, since it lives in = pcb.

I think it makes excellent = sense to test gnetlist against every third party back end the developers = can find. Distribution, on the other hand, is a separate issue, to be = decided in individual cases.
