Comment 5 for bug 1544238

I don't want to get rid of the alternate units. My imperial brain
doesn't always convert to metric very well so when I have to work in
metric creating footprints, it's nice to have the imperial units handy
for reference purposes. I wouldn't be opposed to making this optional
but please keep in mind one of the goals of the KiCad project is to
support the largest group of users possible. Users with small displays
are not our target user group so making changes to support small
displays would be very low on our priority list.
