Different layers. "unknown" is is the appropriate return when the back end will 
simply put the result in the output file. #f is the appropriate return when the 
back end will process the result. So, the high level factor, 
(gnetlist:get-package-attribute) should continue to yield "unknown", but I 
would agree that it would be beneficial for the lower level 
(gnetlist:get-all-package-attributes) to yield #f. Although perhaps '() would 
be more consistent.

This message contains technical discussion involving difficult issues. No 
personal disrespect or malice is intended. If you perceive such, your 
perception is simply wrong. I'm a busy person, and in my business "go along to 
get along" causes mission failures and sometimes kills people, so I tend to be 
a bit blunt.
