Hi Pawel,

Some work had been done already for the capacitors by Alejandro Mendez, so
there shouldn't be much left to do, if anything. Go one with these 3, but
please hold on for the 3 resistor packs. We didn't include that in the
convention yet.

As for combining .pretty repos, we have a reason to keep them not too big.
When browsing them in KiCad, there is a wait time associated to the
download of the repos. The bigger they are, the longer the wait time.
