In kicad you don't worry about fat classes, they are continuosly
expanding like the universe :P:P

The settings class approach works fine for the plots, I think it could
work. Also it could be maybe useful for some kind of 'setting
templating' in the future (load/save them independently from the board).
Working with different technologies could benefit from it, for example: the
unsupported pads in single face have different rules than the supported
ones in THT; do it wrong and they delaminate :(
