Haha yeah, except I'm not sure what he says is accurate and I'm not sure what the resistance is against a hierarchical netlister (without workarounds like makefiles and such). Every single industry level netlister I have ever seen does this and I have worked with plenty as a student and now an engineer in the industry. As someone who manually looks at netlists on a daily basis, flat netlists are very hard to read and simulate slow in spice simulators. I'm not even sure a makefile solution would really work anyway since flat netlisting each cell separately in a makefile (which I assume John was talking about) would not be able to automatically produce the subckt statements need inside the main spice file.
