That was done a long time ago. > You have a rotten egg, is correct yell and trash it if nobody complains. This assumes that someone has the time to go back and get rid of it. Maybe publishing a personal development branch on launchpad is a better way to go until we can get a clearer picture of how your code will make Kicad cleaner, easier to debug, and provide some as yet defined feature. Then it can be merged into the testing branch. This way you get to develop at your pace and if it doesn't work, someone doesn't have to clean up after it's abandoned.
