Situation: As a KiCad newbie, I'm not satisfied with how some functionalities
work, say, how the cooperation with the simulation engine works.
Having no information on development intentions of the current KiCad
development team, I end up by proposing a patch that tries to fix the existing
KiCad functionality without much pain.
If I read the road map, I would see there: "Simulations: Provide quality
circuit simulation capabilities similar to commercial products - no progress".
Now I have no idea what are the expectation from the "quality circuit
simulator", how should it look like. And thus I would give up at the very
beginning.

However, If I got a high-level design, I would get an idea how much work it
will be, whether I have the expertise needed, and whether I am interested in
the functionality as designed. I would compare my effort and gains, whether it
would bring me a better functionality than the patch mentioned above. And then
I could decide to try that, because at least I would know that if I follow the
design, my contribution won't get rejected.

I know this is sad, but the newbie cannot make the high-level design by
himself. It must be a long-time KiCad user or a long-time KiCad developer.
