When I design electronics, I have the opposite need: My library should 
match my stock of components. That way I don't need to decide on the 
package of resistors, universal silicon diodes, elcaps or opamps again 
and again. Adding a symbol for a local stock component should be exactly 
one mouse click. So I am almost fine with the heavy symbol approach.

It is almost fine, because the current heavy symbols lack the ability to 
preselect a list of default footprints. This would enhance the library 
with know-how that currently resides in my head. No need to tell students 
an co-workers which packages to choose...
