PcbNew netlist updating codepaths

 

Does anyone know why we have two different netlist update codepaths?

When using "Update PCB from Schematic" workflow, the netlist is processed
by BOARD_NETLIST_UPDATER called from PCB_EDIT_FRAME::KiwayMailIn()

When using "Load Netlist" workflow, the netlist is processed
by BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() called by PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ReadPcbNetlist()

Best,
Jon
