I was the one suggesting that, and I would also suggest that every extra 
component/footprint that does not have the "virtual" attribute should be 
removed if there is not a matching schematic symbol, so that an extra 
resistor would be removed, but an extra mounting hole with the virtual 
tag would be kept.
