kicad.org used to be a "domain for sale" landing page for a long while, but looks like in July it was acquired by DigiKey and made to redirect to http://digikey.com. Maybe it would be a good idea to ask them nicely if they could redirect it to kicad-pcb.org instead, or donate it to the project. I

I don't see length matching splines to be any easier than length matching polylines. If anything having arcs is a lot more important than beziers as arcs can form circles while beziers can't exactly (you need NURBS for that). Also iirc Gerbers support arcs natively so it would end up generating bet

That sound perfect! Does you "Copy 3D model" really copy the originals, or rebuild them from the scenegraph? (I very much prefer the latter so it's compatible with all the formats), in that case it might be best to rename that option as "Use external model files" or invert it and call it "Generate

The user would have to click through a big fat warning that the file is from the future. If you wanna be doubly sure, open things in read only mode if there is a version mismatch, so the user at worst can save the file with another name, allowing recovery without having to drop into a text editor.
