Hard to say... I see the sense of these hierarchical sheets only if I can
share one schematic to be multiplied on other (as far as I know will not
work in KiCad due to enumeration and netlists), and if connectors on
hierarchical symbol will appear automatically when added on symbol edited on
additional schematics (master symbol and slave symbol on schematic using
it). The problem it that case may be a fact that KiCad is unable to follow
connection with pin movement (PADS does).
