We're considering releasing schematics for some of our tools, and I thought 
I'd ask you guys what you think about it.

I'm a bit torn about this issue, because on one hand, the schematics went 
through several design changes over the years, incorporating some 
non-obvious but nonetheless significant changes that would be directly 
useful to a competitor. On the other hand, with a little effort the board 
can be reverse-engineered, and there may be a benefit to the hobbyist-type 
user who wants to tinker with the circuit.

Was your purchasing decision ever affected by the availability of 
schematics? Was there a time when you didn't buy something because 
schematics weren't available?

Thank you for your time,

Vitaliy
