Yes, but typically in open ended bus use case they have a label attached
to them that makes the connection.  The same thing can be done with
wires which does show the connection status correctly when a wire is
open ended but has a label attached to it.  The video demo project is a
good example of both behaviors.  It's not that important but some users
may wonder why the difference between wire and bus connections.  It's
something to think about.
