A large part of the utility of gEDA is that it *isn't* integrated,  
but plays nicely with many different tools, PCB among them. The  
biggest job I've done with gEDA is a VLSI chip design: no printed  
circuit board or footprints there! I've also used gEDA in three  
different printed circuit flows, but never with PCB: each customer  
has their own favorite here. And then there's simulation.

So to me, it is important that gEDA remain neutral and not commit to  
any specialized vision of the design flow.
