Ah yes, of course. So there are two bad things with PCBs current
method ;)

Btw, I should have mentioned in my first email: I do like the sound of
using a combination of optional tagging and the minimum cut heuristic
(which, as it seems some people are forgetting, is only there as a tool
to aid the designer, not as a perfect solution that removes all
responsibility from the designer). I expect by using a mix of the two
you can solve the short-through-a-footprint problem by tagging the nets
involved, therefore explicitly stating your intent to PCB, and you don't
lose the current flexibility.
