Yes, absolutely.

And part of the gnetlist's output is:

Remember to check that your schematic has no errors using the drc2
backend.
You can do it running 'gnetlist -g drc2 your_schematic.sch -o
drc_output.txt' and seeing the contents of the file drc_output.txt.

Here are some points:
  - A schematic DRC checker exists since June'2003.
  - We have talked a lot about the DRC both in the user and the
development mailing lists.
  - Every time you run gnetlist, it remembers you to check your
schematic and tells you how to do it.

My question now is: why users don't read the messages, or don't follow
the suggestions? (specially a user who suggested to include a link to a
more detailed explanation in every error or warning message).
