Comment 36 for bug 1251393

I am a bit confused now. Is your answer meant for the "support adding edge cuts via the footprint editor" part of the bug report, or for the "is it ok to have edge cuts in the footprint" part?

In #14 i assumed that all answers above meant that it is generally ok to have lines on the edge cuts layer as long as the user is careful with its definition.
For that reason we allowed edge cuts to be defined in footprints of the official library.

I assume any discussion below that was about when the footprint editor will allow defining edge cuts outlines. (With me wondering for the reason as to why the answer has not been "as soon as a patch is supplied". Especially the later responses sounded a bit like "Something is planned)

Your last answer however could mean that this might possibly not be fully ok. (or i read too much into it.)
Could you therefore elaborate what footprint file format addition would be required to support edge cuts? Or has this just been a wild guess? (In other words: Is there some known problem that i have missed so far? -> If yes then we might need to rethink the addition of some footprints to the official library.)
