We're going over old ground now... [1]http://www.delorie.com/pcb/component-dbs.html "First, in gschem/gattrib, the the GUI has a way of querying the database for potential values of attributes - such as choosing variants, picking parts from official part lists, sticking to on-hand inventory, etc."
Agreed on both counts. Default footprints would be misleading - having some choice and an easy way to select seems the most logical compromise. I have a bunch of symbols I've created myself where I put a footprint attribute in but set it TBD - because I know that depending on project I'll be switching between through hole and SMT...
