The 'graphical' way is right click/assign to netclass :D if netlist
handling is not realtime at least a warning to regenerate it should be
given (like when trying to do a netlist without annotation)

Please stop: one net, one class; one net many classes is *way* too much
complicated. AFAIK nobody does that and sincerely I can't see a useful
way to use this.

Otherwise that's just a policy; these defaults (keep the assigned
classes otherwise clarify/remove it) seems fine to me.
