Those are some interesting changes to working with buses.

There is one documentation type problem I see is related to use of aliases 
for a bus group.

When you set up the alias for RAM via the menus you only see that one name 
on the schematic for the bus. Someone else looking at the schematic won't 
easily know what signals are included in the bus alias. Even the person who 
originally might forget if they haven't touched the schematic for a while 
and need to go back and make some changes.
