It is my preference that the designators do retain schematic page reference.
I do projects with lots of parts, but only can print out Letter sized schematic
pages.  Makes the board a lot easier to stuff, and less clutter on the bench,
if you only have to deal with one page at a time.  That option should be
configurable.

In my many years at a contract manufacture it has always been one of those

unless it was completely random; those sucked to work on.
