Only logic family libs are affected. The 4xxx lib is already done. This leaves 4 libs at most. (I have no access to kicad right at this moment so i can not check.) Only option 2 ends up with multiples of the lib. In option 3 we will rename the lib (meaning a new lib will be added and the origi

Hi, Rene. Thanks for bringing this up. I've never liked hidden power pins. In my opinion, the python philosophy applies here too: "Explicit is better than implicit." How many libraries will need this? I'm asking because, if we went for option 3 (or 2), will we end up with a lot of nearly identica
