I think it would be nice to have all the manufacturing rules out of components. For example we now have to embed clearence to polygons value in the footprints; in each pin/pad. That would be nice to have that value as an optional value, and have a default value in the PCB file. > * How about not embedding the footprint into the .pcb file? Or doing > it optionally, a la gschem? That would be nice too. End not embedding padstacks. So the layout would be a data tree.
