when you come up with a schematic style that looks good for any chip in 
a package with lots of balls (here a 672 fpga with its IO banking does 
not help)  _please_ share it with us.

Schematics are great for something that fits on a page. Preferably a 
small page.     Bigger than that, I think HDL wins.      And there is 
lots of inertia.

And parts of these things , for example the power supplies, still look 
best (to my eye anyway) as a schematic.
