I will refrain from such unnecessary discussions due to lack of time.
There is absolutely nothing preventing users from using what ever

new resistor symbol and give it a different name than 'R'.  Whether you
put it in a new library or an existing library seems really doesn't
matter.  Am I missing something else here?
