(This answear was 2012)

I could create uniquie names like 1uF_100V_2012_5% or wait with the bond between schematic and footprint til after the design is complete (which kinda spoil the idea of the field option for the components such as footprint)

or perhaps start to engage myself in the development of kicad for real ^^
