If you don't have anything to do for a couple of hours (days?), see the
original discussion about the new schematic file format:

https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg06358.html

There is no plan to have separate files for each sheet.  The new design
will be infinitely more modular than the current design and should
greatly simplify complex hierarchy code and file format compared to what
we currently have.  The new design will make it possible to support cut
and paste and indirectly drag and drop.  Individual files do not make
the schematic structure more modular.  A superior design does.  Once
this gets implemented (probably not any time soon), I think it will make
a lot more sense.
