[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that we should preserve as much information as possible.  So for
net classes that would be clearance, track width, via diameter, via
drill, uvia diameter, uvia drill, and all associated nets.  Everything
else will have to wait until our constraint system is in place.  If the
patch handles that, then it's something that would be worth looking at.

Cheers,

Wayne
