Might be out of scope for this project, but I figured to put it out there anyway: It'd be nice if there was a simple config to toggle recipes only accepting Industrial Craft's circuits rather than circuitBasic ore dictionary items, to differentiate IC2's circuits from other mods' (Mekanism's, for example).
This is already the case with some IC2 addons, e.g. Gravitation Suite will only accept IC2 circuits.

This can be done manually per IC2 recipe although it'd be quite tedious. Another possible workaround is removing the circuitBasic ore dictionary from Mekanism's circuits but that'd break other things.
