     - should use [encoder map feature](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_encoders?id=encoder-map), rather than `encoder_update_user()`
     - default keymap should not enable VIA -- the VIA integration documentation requires a keymap called `via`

+- submitters can add an example (or bells-and-whistles) keymap showcasing capabilities in the same PR but it shouldn't be embedded in the 'default' keymap
 - submitters can also have a "manufacturer-matching" keymap that mirrors existing functionality of the commercial product, if porting an existing board
 - Do not include VIA json files in the PR. These do not belong in the QMK repository as they are not used by QMK firmware -- they belong in the [VIA Keyboard Repo](https://github.com/the-via/keyboards)
 - Do not include KLE json files in the PR. These have no use within QMK.
