Hi Reece, What I am planning is not really related to the features you mention. Currently we have a few files that contain multiple #ifdef PCBNEW/EESCHEMA/etc. and is compiled many times with different definitions, which is not the right way to go. The final goal is to make all files compile only once. To do so, I am moving the code parts wrapped with ifdefs to corresponding applications. It is a refactor, without adding any new features. We had a plan for another refactor that could be more related to your wishes. I can give you some details, if you are interested.
