Paul, How much patience is a little? I needed hierarchical buses and it isn't in standard geda and isn't likely anytime in the near future. In 2002/2003 I managed to twist gnetlist in a first atempt and realized that the algorythms of gnetlist and libgeda arn't capable without doing a major rewrite. Which I have spent the last year and a half doing. I think 5 years is a little patience. My point is that libgeda's data structures really arn't coherently organized. Take a look at the st_object structure for example. So inorder to get a more complicated netlister functioning I ripped apart libgeda's data structures and supporting functions. Major rewrites like this don't easly port back into existing code bases in a series of little patches. I am not expecting it to happen. I am not complaining if it does happen or doesn't.
But getting back to why I asked the question. Which wasn't to get in yet another political discussion about open source projects. I am asking if anyone is using a particular feature and if so why and how. This isn't a political question it is a functional question. You arn't so ok.
