That is bad. You have to think twice that "is it a 0 Ohm resistor, or do I
missed to attach normal value of that device?"

Again. Is it the default or real? Nobody knows.

That will make gnetlist to crash! :-) Believe me I tried! I spent nights
manually seeking for this. Don't do it.

What I do is I keep my symbols light. Sometimes it doesn't even have
pin-numbers! After I made my design, I update all my symbols, and attributes
with an updater script, which pulls everything from a MySQL database.
