The currently supported 68keys board is a duplicate of the mf68

The currently supported 68keys board is a duplicate of the mf68. According to the docs, the site details the process of getting the mf68 gerber files printed without any modifications.

Suggestion: merge keyboard folders together, adding the existing 68keys default keymap to mf68/keymaps/68keys

It may be, but it's different people doing it.

I'd feel better about leaving them as separate boards.

How does the original author, @sbstjn feel about the proposed suggestion?

So to play play devil's advocate briefly, If myself and 8 others were to purchase Planck pcbs and port new boards under the usual location....

keyboards/zvecr
keyboards/fred
...
keyboards/bob

there would effectively be 10 boards the same, wouldn't this lean towards a less maintainable code base?

[drashna]

Because in this case, it may not be the same PCB.

And in that case, we do have something like tht already with the planck, contra, fractal, and the like.

From the site i linked,
The github link points to a repo with the following commit:
sbstjn/tmk_keyboard@ffb1d7a
Add symlink to mf68 PCB

and an image from that page:

I have to say, Its a shame to hear that this awesome project advocates for code duplication.

[drashna]

Ah, okay, it is the same PCB then. In that case, yeah, don't need multiple boards.

So, it's not that we advocate for code duplication, it's more that I didn't want to step on somebody's foot, in case it wasn't actually the same PCB.

Cheers @drashna. Thanks for hearing me out on this one.
