+Pcb-rnd has two working auto-router mechanism at the moment and one 
+planned:
+
+  - the classic PCB autorouter plugin (together with the djopt plugin)
+
+  - dsn export -> freerouting.net app -> dsn import (external autorouting)
+
+  - planned: auto-complete network
+
+
+I am considering the removal of the toporouter code, because:
+
+  - at the moment it compiles but does not work properly
+
+  - it's huge
+
+  - it's unmaintained
+
+  - as far as I remember it is not finished (it doesn't add vias?)
+
+  - it's slightly buggy (e.g. it happily routes on the outline layer)
+
+  - there's no sign anyone wants to finish or at least maintain it
+
+  - it depends on a modified version of gts that needs to be shipped in the 
+source distribution
+
+  - as far as I see it doesn't have a menu item even in mainline (which 
+suggests mainline doesn't consider it a stable feature to advertise - 
+correct me if it is just a mistake in the menu file)
+
+*************************************************************************
+
+The obscolesce process: I'd remove toporouter and gts from trunk - 
+probably archiving the last compilable state in work/. If later on someone 
+wants to maintain it or it gets finished/maintained in mainline, I will 
+reconsider this decision and may move the source back in trunk/.
