Hi Wayne,

Thanks a lot, great document!

I found one package missing (wrs to the CERN roadmap).
 	
Improved DRC:
Depends on: geometry library
Goal: Additional DRC checks.
Status: planning
Plan:
- replace all existing geometry code with the new geometry library.
- ensure there is no floating point in any clearance-related 
calculations (rounding!).
- add DRC checks: component/silkscreen/mask clearance.
- fix polygon stitching issue
- remove DRC-related limitations such as no arcs/text on copper layers.
- on-line DRC (for less CPU-consuming checks).
- add option for saving/loading DRC rules settings

-- my 5 cents,
Tom
