> Probably introducing in the file format the possibility to use a list of 
values for the component value (and other fields like the DNF flag) and 
put in the first release of V6 the behaviour "use the first value, keep 
the others saved in the file" would leave the door open to this 
development after the V6.0 release and without changing the file format 
specs, allowing to implement it without the need for further changes to 
the file format.

Anyway, I confess I did not see the latest specs, so probably this has 
been considered yet and I'm re-inventing the wheel.

P.S.: I'm quite curious about the new eeschema file specs (I've seen a 
version from march 2018 dev mailing list, so may be quite outdated).

Cheers,
Dino.
