No need to apologize. You brought a bunch of critical issues out into  
the daylight.

Ah, but you showed that it *isn't* a simple question. Different  
people have very different views of what it means to have a composite  
component in a design. This interacts with very different views on  
what a project flow should be. And truth be told, I have sympathy for  
most of the conflicting points of view.

The problem is that which is "right" depends on the job and the  
customer. I am extremely unhappy with the desire for a standard one- 
size-fits-all gEDA approach to these issues. Even if I could design  
it to my liking, it would only fit a subset of my projects, and I'm  
only one user.
