The 3D modules are huge, and bog down the repo. It doesn't make sense to me that these two would be put in the same repo. Why does someone need to pull in the 3D modules if they want to work on a symbol? It doesn't make sense. It's madness.

Madness is exactly what it is.

We are currently working on transferring all the kicad library data to new repositories:

There is also now a website where you can download zipped 3D models: https://kicad.github.io/packages3d

This is in preparation for the v5 software release. Please close this issue when you're satisfied with this outcome :)
