I thought of another one, something I *know* I've mentioned before (in various
discussions w/ Steve, off-line as well as here on LUGNet)...

If a primitive or subfile that has *already* been released (i.e., the file is an
**OFFICIAL** file), you should NOT -- I REPEAT, **NOT** -- use the existence of
any re-submission of said file (e.g., file has been certified for BFC) when
determining the "has uncertified subfiles" criteria for child files.

For example, file 30375csd.dat, "Minifig Mechanical SW Droideka (Shortcut)"
("http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/30375csd.dat") uses only
**officially released LCAD files**.  And yet, since five (5) of these
**officially released LCAD files** have been re-submitted (for either BFC or
minor tweaking or what-not), this assembly file shows as "subfiles aren't
certified"...

I'd almost give money -- (well, if I *had* any to give, that is) -- to have this
functionality added to the Parts Tracker...

Thanks,
Franklin

(...) I disagree with this idea. Fixed parts can have subtle changes to them that may affect the parent part. In other words, part fixes are essentially new parts meant to replace the old parts. -Orion (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Here's one more... Whenever I look at the "details" for a specific file, I want to see my reviews listed for all of the related files and/or required subfiles... For example: Required (unofficial) subfiles: xxx.dat 3 hold votes (you voted "hold") (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
