Nothing more than when it is expected to design your circuits for you.


Console based processing would have to work as usual, perhaps throwing a
stderr / stdout warning that there might be out-dated footprints for
certain files.

There could also be a command line option / tool which specifically
checks these things and returns 0 / 1 / whatever, so you can make
further processing conditional on everything being "happy".

In the case of divergent footprints / symbols which the user _wants_,
I'd imagine the GUI action to express this would then take the desired
symbol and dissociate it from the library copy, either giving it a
different name, or just flagging so in the file. There could be a
hash-code of the confirmed version stashed in the layout / schematic
which just ensures no further prompting unless the library version
changes again.
