I don't think releasing schematics is a good idea. There is so much more to a production process than documentation. QA is a huge factor in fitniss for purpose and durability. Also, spare parts can/should preferrably be the ouput of the same machinery and production lines as the original parts, which makes it better for the environment.
- JohnFen 3y agoYour other points are well-taken, but don't address why you don't think releasing schematics is a good idea. Schematics make diagnosis and repair possible without having to engage in reverse-engineering.
- nuancebydefault 3y agoGood point. I actually meant, releasing schematics for the sake of 3rd parties reproducing parts of probably inferior quality, would be not a great idea. Schematics for understanding, yes, but those can be more high level - black box if you want - schematics for the sake of understanding how the system works or interconnects. A repair manual.
