Re: Request to remove footprints_doc and related files
Thanks, but I think you can also remove a lot of the stuff in
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/tree/master/modules if not all
except the packages3d of course. So that is the kicad_pcb and brd
files, I don't know about the equ files, but I don't think they are
used anywhere either, but I could be wrong.
