A way to handle schematic driven work styles like Stefan seems to want is to make a PCB plugin to color traces differently, or just temporarily, as an aid to using the correct DRC rules as you draw, or autoroute.Rather than using a plugin system, I think we should allow the user to configure the coloring, assigning drawing parameters like "color", "brightness" and "opacity" to any net attributes he wishes. Presets would be stored in $HOME/.pcb .
Color is fundamental and the base colors are part of the core code of PCB, so no plugin is needed to use them. Also, a plugin system exists that does not require compilation to use, so that is a place to handle work flow individuality settings like "color all trace segments of net PWR1 from the gschem schematic blue-green whatever physical layer they are on. That would not be a popular plugin, but could be helpful in some work flow.
