as well as parsing time increase, polygon count etc.
thus, to support the underside studs in those rare usecases,
an interested (most probably experienced) builder can easily take
care of adding the underside negative studs locally, when really needed,
to his files.

This gets to my preference: I'd rather see the Parts Library remain as it is but see a special library of parts with the details there made available for special occassions only. Advanced builders may not be able to make such a baseplate themself, but they could download it if they wanted.

Having the underside details is simply too much computation for too little gain IMO.
