Fair point.  I've removed it just because removing it was the right
thing to do.  Our free software tools only exist because dedicated
people have spent thousands of hours of their time, and I'm certainly
grateful.

This is something KiCad is struggling with too.  There are several
ongoing attempts to give KiCad the ability to source footprints and
symbols from the net (eg, git repos), and several attempts to set up
good central repositories of parts.  Nothing has reached critical mass
yet, although there's hope.
