Kristoffer, You're very welcome to specify how you'd like to have the Spice-related fields organized - but remember it's not only the integrated ngspice simulator that relies on them. People have been exporting PSpice netlists from Kicad for a while and AFAIR netlist export depends on these particular fields. As for the polishing up before the V5, there's several tasks to do: - update the pspice.lib library (it doesn't follow the KLC) and make sure all Spice devices are in there. - fix quirks in the plot component (wxMathPlot). - document and make a few example designs (I can help with this point).
