One of the reasons why I did not publicize too much about my flexlib
repo is that I consider the code now pre-alpha. This means that I still
plan to totally rework the API meaning lot's of frustration with people
using current API without me having time to give proper support.

From to other side I would love to have PDKMaster + FlexLib + FlexMem
ported to Sky130. Although I would like to have part of the budget
allocated to me so I can proper support.
I propose to continue this discussion after the tape-out ?

Hi Staf, please do not feel the need to respond to this. I am raising this *deferred* bug report so that you and luke can continue the discussion *after* the tapeout.

This bug has been superseeded by bug #630.
Unfortunately due to the unstable API and deadline stress it was not possible to support external contribution yet.
