    Absolutely agree. Its an excellent idea to have a library of mounting
    hole components (even for those that are not connected to a net - then
    they show, correctly, as no connects). In some systems you can set
    an attribute (I call mine NBI), to indicate that the 'component' is
    not to be listed on the BOM.
