I tried to import several Eagle 6.* and 7.2 projects to KiCad with
unsuccessful results. Did you import the PCB design or the schematic too?
How?

I might try it this this week. Currently I feel sick, I read email and for
mins like a zombie in the armchair or bed.

I did read somewhere the Eagle import was some mind of proof concept and
might have some issues. I'm not sure of the details right now, I'm sure
someone could clarify it a lot better than me.

I did read file format interoperability is in the roadmap, considering
specially the major EDA software file formats. That's for sure.

I'm not sure about the priority of it if compared to lots other planned
tasks to do  after the new stable release finally gets released.

I think to remember to read in some documents that massive code refactoring
is mandatory for some of these tasks. There's the need of the much needed
UX overhaul and strong scripting capabilities (like in Eagle's ULP or
better) too.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

There's hope EDA Core Project might finally run and provide some agnostic
libraries for stuff like this to all FOSS EDA/simulator packages out there.
The probabilities are low, but I really hope a miracle happens.
