I know I am not John, who the question was directed at.

However, what would be beneficial to the organization of information
in PCB is the addition of (and use of!) a generic (and I stress
generic!) grouping element. This element would have the following
features: (1) to contain graphical primitives (2) to contain other
groups which may in turn contain other groups or graphical primitives.

Without the ability to cleanly deal with things such as sub-layouts,
panelized designs, and multi-layer footprints is greatly diminished.
The burden of this is passed onto the user who must try to compensate,
somehow...
