Footprint origin for THT parts

[cpresser]

Hi,

this is not really an issue with the Plugin itself, but rather a generic question. I hope people from aisler can shed some light on the (automated) assembly process of THT parts. I am asking since the kicad libray team is considering changing the rule for the origin of THT parts. The discussion for that is taking place here: https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/klc/-/issues/26

So my main question is:

Is there a rule or preference on how the footprint-origin for THT parts should be for optimal assembly results? Is there a problem with the current 'Pin1-Rule'?
