Thank you for that.

I agree with you. I don't think this is a good idea, and what I'd like to see 
is a refactoring of the panel and bridge ops that would make them more alike, 
allowing to handle bridges and panels through a common interface.

Another reason to go in that direction is that, if we create an object that 
can expose both encoder-related and connector-related operations (bridges 
being geared towards the former and panel the latter at the moment), then 
we'll be able to handle connector creation in a much easier better way. As 
I've explained before, bridges should not create connectors, as they have no 
idea whether they're chained to another bridge or output directly to a 
connector.
