I'm drafting up a new OMR File Spec for submission to the LSC. My question to you is: how do we handle unofficial parts in the model files? I see few options:
- Disallow all unofficial parts - this is undesirable for obvious reasons
- Allow unofficial parts but only those that are not already released (i.e. no fixes for official parts)
- Unrestricted use of unofficial parts.
Note that by unofficial parts I mean parts currently on the Parts Tracker and found in the ldrawunof.zip. I don't think it would be productive or desirable to allow parts that are currently not on the PT.
