Hello Wilfred,

I didn't consider that. No, I can't think of a reason why I'd want to keep a BOM.

However... Predicting the future is not one of my strong points. A good
reason may come up some day. I prefer not to close down options too soon.
Right now, now that we have an active developer it is little extra work to
make it an option. The code for generating options is there. It will just
be another if/then in the code.

In five years the situation may be different and making it an option then
may be a lot harder.


Cheers, Michiel
