Offering modules in Frac format would increase the size of the market for
those modules, which would allow you to make bigger board runs, which would
lower the per-board costs, which would be a good thing for all of us. :)
Perhaps the Frac versions could have a subset of the MOTM versions'
features. Most folks should be happy with just the necessary ones,
especially if Frac users are used to smaller module feature sets. For
those that aren't, you can be sure that some devotee will come up with a
Stooge Frac panel for the expanded feature set.
