I grow up on PADS Logic (old DOS version) - there were no such thing as
hierarchical sheet's, but only global labels. I couldn't tell which approach
is better, but that from PADS was more intuitive for me that one in KiCad.
However, I saw couple schematics from other software and there were
something like hierarchy symbols (rectangles).

<p>Hello Jean-pierre,<br>
<br>
this methodology breaks consistency with the entire program. There is no in=
dication that the hierarchical labels need to be connected from the sheet a=
t all. The bounding box idea on the regular labels makes sense this method =
does not. <br>

<br>
I would recommend following the same connection scheme as unconnected nets,=
bus&#39;, pin&#39;s, etc. by leaving a square bounding box around the unco=
nnected hierarchical pin/label. <br>
