I had to done this for some *idiotic* people which needs gerbers in millimeters. Could help in some extreme DRC situation on the fabrication side, I don't know... or maybe to raise precision (even if I don't think current technology can achieve over than one decimil there are 12000 dpi

I have worked a bit more on the idea of the “layer based constraints”. We have already argued quite a bit about how one should tell KiCad about different constraints on different layers. But I think, we all more or less agree that there are realistic use cases where a constraint is not only
