       -  ``dnf_filter`` :index:`: <pair: output - position - options; dnf_filter>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to mark components as not fitted.
          A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
 
-      -  ``exclude_strange_footprints`` :index:`: <pair: output - position - options; exclude_strange_footprints>` [boolean=true] Removes suspicious footprints. Currently removes footprints generated by KiKit to create the panel.
       -  ``gerber_board_edge`` :index:`: <pair: output - position - options; gerber_board_edge>` [boolean=false] Include the board edge in the gerber output.
       -  ``include_virtual`` :index:`: <pair: output - position - options; include_virtual>` [boolean=false] Include virtual components. For special purposes, not pick & place.
          Note that virtual components is a KiCad 5 concept.
