I finally had a chance to look at this patch and I have similar concerns. I thought I was pretty clear about *not* being comfortable with making assumptions about via zone connections and always using the assigned net code. I'm a bit concerned with the connection testing and it's decision to change a via's net code depending on which zone(s) that it intersects. I see this as an unacceptable risk for kicad to assume. I would rather put the responsibility in hands of the user and just have kicad complain when there is a drc issue.
Please configure your editor to clean up trailing white space and fix the other coding policy errors.
