-The schematics are successfully converted.
+The schematics are mostly converted. A few components do not connect with their
+nets (e.g. C9 and C10 on sheet rev02_01), but maybe a manual overhaul will be
+needed anyways at the end of conversion. A bigger issue is that no components
+get footprints associated with them in the schema, so generating a new netlist
+won't work at all. The footprints exists in some form in the PCB, so we only
+need to figure out how to reference them properly in the schema.
 
 All the copper layers convert reasonably well. The challenges are mostly
 around filled polygons on the various layers. A python script (fix-pcb.py)
