gEDA-dev: [RFC] Embedding/archiving compromise

[Paul Tan]

Hi Ales,

Great architectural foresight.  After looking
at other GPL'ed EDA tools, gEDA shines in that
it can be used for hobbyist, educational tools,
and currently it has uninhibiting capabilities
and features including the support of "highly
complex hierarchical directory structure", all
of which are essential for design of multimillion
transistors VLSI chip.

As gEDA evolves, I would like to see this tradition
continues, and the capabilities not diminished
or sacrificed.

Best Regards,
Paul Tan

This is pretty much the philosophy of gEDA/gaf from the beginning.
I intentionally didn't define what a "design" or "project" really
means.  I left that up to the end users to pick what works for them.
Some people wanted a highly complex hierarchical directory structure
while others just wanted a flat single directory.
