It's curious because I prefer "DIP8" than "DIP-8", but for transistors 
I've prefer "SOT-23" than "SOT23" or "SC-70" than "SC70". Even if 
"SOT-23-5" looks pretty ugly. A matter of taste.

Well, I can show you, because "one picture shows more than thousand 
words". Just get the lp:~keruseykaryu/kicad/library

It requires a lot of people staff and a sizeable amount of work to make 
also some kind of validation of symbols or footprints with the data 
sheets. Currently, there is not a lot of commits in libraries, but this 
may change as "we" move libraries on GitHub. I think we currently don't 
have enough manpower to do that.
