Personally, I don't like a board without refdes on it.  Same goes for 
refdes that hides underneath the part.  It's just too hard to work on 
the board.  Yes, you can have a separate sheet of paper that maps the 
whole thing out but I don't like to carry around another document.

yep.  In this example, the stuff I showed you is compact so the names 
don't fit.  But, there's a ton of room below it.  This way seems like an 
ok way to place the refdes.

Sounds like another cool feature :)  You better get on it :D~
