Well, you can do *your* projects that way, but that makes reuse by a  
project with different parts selection criteria difficult and  
tedious. Remember that the new project may be a derivative of the  
old, but with new components. Right now, I'm putting together a new  
rev of an old project. The biggest change is 0603->0402 when  
possible, so we can make it smaller. That's a lot more tedious with  
embedded components, but with project symbols I only have to worry  
about the handful of exceptional components that can't shrink.
