I'm being lazy which is why I asked for fp-lib-table.for-github to be kept up to date. I have several custom fp-lib-tables that I use for testing purposes. This is one of them. When I want to test the latest github footprint library changes, I would rather not have regenerate it every time with the fp-lib-table wizard to make sure I have the latest and greatest fp-lib-table. For normal users, this probably isn't needed but developers may find this useful. At least this developer finds it useful. It really shouldn't be that difficult to maintain. I haven't looked lately but have we added or removed that many footprint library repos since we started maintaining them on github?
