ok, so, here's a question about PCB releases: I get my PCBs from JLC and do all the part assignments for PCBA inside KiCAD using the JLCPCB plugin, which means all the production data for getting your own boards made it right there, but I don't usually include it in my releases because I feel kinda… icky about including files for a specific board house? Like, they're not paying me anything and I don't really want to favor one company over another, but I do realize that it would be handy for people to just have a file they can upload somewhere and get boards in the mail a few days later. How do you feel about including production files for specific manufacturers in open source releases?

@slyka Haha annotating the pads like that is neat; hmm I bet you could add teletext.
