Comment 33 for bug 1744832

i see the reason for the discussion on nomenclature

clearance seems like its a quantity that is dded to some diameter like
the other clearance.  but on the other hand, you want to be able to have
a tented via, and zero seems like the right way to represent that,    i
don't see a better solution except perhaps to call it something else,
like "solder mask opening"

i apologize for not getting to it sooner, it really is quite nice.  I
like it.
