It is highly unlikely that no one cares.


When something does not get done in an open source project, I would not 
assume it is because no one cares. 


More likely: the cost is too high.

Meaning: good software is NEVER free. Somebody ALWAYS pays for it. 
Any developer capable of writing software for a project like Kicad is 
valuable. And time is money.


Alain, you cannot reduce the cost of writing free software, however you 
can increase the reward by being a little more positive. Please do not 
give up your day job for being a motivational speaker.
