I got some review comments about these parts on the PT:

I've been given these partnames, without s\ suggestions by Steve Bliss, so I
assumed it was right to create these as individual parts.

I had a similar discussion about part 7930 and the glass piece x268 with Steve:
(Steve, I hope you don't mind that I quote you publicly)

7930s..  ~Glass for Door  1 x  3 x  4

Use x268.dat for this glass.  The glass is its own part, and it has its
own real part number.  So we don't add suffixes to get a number, we assign
a 3DN.

Parts starting with  ~, should these be stored in the parts\s-folder?

No.  Files which represent actual LEGO elements go in parts\.  "Actual
LEGO elements" includes simple bricks, compound parts (like your 2x2 light
bricks) and component parts (like the glass for the 7930 door).
Additionally, any file that a modeler might need to interact with also
belongs in parts/.  Examples of these files are the segments of flexible
parts.
The only files that belong in parts/s/ are fragments of complete elements,
like tiles without tops, or dithered-color fragments of patterns.

(...) I'm assuming you'd like a response to Steffen's review-comments. Yes, these files should go in the parts directory, not parts\s. If for no other reason than because some model-builders might want to change colors (to non-lego-produced (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I protested then, and I protest the same way now. I don't agree with Steve, and I probably never will. There was *ABSOLUTELY NO NEED* to make three files for one part like 7930. With some classic windows, there will even be four files: one (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
