Correct, these are pins not connected, but that might be in the future, 
and the pins are under a 289 pin BGA. In such a BGA, routing is 
tricky. So I wanted to route the tracks out to verify that the routing 
was feasible in the future and leave the tracks unconnected, not the pins.


So I am now thinking I can turn off DRC for this.....


The English comments in the drc.cpp and elsewhere will be helpful for 
everyone in the future.


Thanks again.
