This plan to deprecate the old diode type seems… uh... poorly thought out. Yanking these out from under everyone and every project in exiistence and then sending out a message that says, “hey, guess what I did?” doesn’t seem like the best way to handle this. It is most certainly not the way to win converts to kicad.
