And your kind of bottom-up design never gets done at all, because of
impossible-to-meet requirements for unlimited flexibility.

The problem is, "the space of the possible" is infinitely large, and
we have a very small finite set of developers.  Unless we know how the
tool is going to be used, we don't even know what "the space of the
possible" *is*.

So I can grant you your wish right now - delete your pcb tree and you
have the result of your design process.
