That makes good sense.  I guess that "work flow" you just described needs to make it into the feature request for an application using the the new parts DB being discussed.  i.e. once a symbol or footprint is located in the "ether" copy it to the "local" custom library.  Items in the local library probably need to have a "verified and trusted" flag as well.
