gEDA-user: Implicit or Explicit Power Pins

[Dan Sandberg <dan.sandberg.lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just started using gEDA and need some guidance. 

The Gschem FAQ says to always make power pins explicit:

The geda net= mini-HOWTO says that implicit power pins are recommended:

I'm making a board that uses the ATMega8 and would like to put 
decoupling caps on the Vcc.  How do I do this if there is no Vcc pin on 
the symbol?  Do I need to add pins myself?  If the consensus is that 
explicit pins are generally the way to go, is a push to update the 
library being made?

Seems like everybody could be happy if power pins could be included in 
all the symbols, but then easily hidden or shown by setting an attribute 
on the symbol itself...
