Although IPC-2581 is pretty new I think it's a great idea.  A lot of board
houses are apparently starting to request this from customers although I've
never come across it.  I'd be thrilled if all of the EDA packages started
to support it.

Some folks have asked the support team at EAGLE about it, over the years:

Translation: We'll promise to ask our management, and never get back to
you...


Now, after the acquisiton by Autodesk:

Machiavellian "Keep your eyes peeled" corporate comment.
