When I have to debug a faulty pcb, stuff like this would be useless. A schematic should be more than just "capture the netlist" - it should help the viewer understand the design and operation of the device. But I agree that there's a tradeoff that's sometimes best solved with a table instead of a diagram. I've suggested adding a "table" object to gschem, for things like power/gnd pins.
