Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] New development policies.
I have started to tag such things missing-gal-tool on the bug tracker. Feel
free to creat new tickets with this tag when you notice tools or features that
have not been ported and should be.

Is there a place where we can find the list of features that are Legacy only?
That should help to focus on porting those features to GAL / Cairo.
Just my $0.02,
