No, more the opposite. :)  

The idea is to create a library -- and a set of bindings -- that applications 
can link with easily, without having to worry about the API continuously 
changing.  Ideally, the ABI should be stabilized too.

I want to make it easy for people to quickly hack together little programs for 
manipulating gEDA schematics without any gschem-isms getting in the way.  
This might include anything from new GUIs, to part library tools, etc.

It would also be a good step on the way to getting desktop environments like 
KDE or GNOME to include native support for seeing thumbnails of gEDA 
schematics in file browsers, for instance.

P.S. Should we get a mimetype registered specifically for gEDA schematics?
