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.

Someone on #kicad has noticed that "Perform PCB update" removes
components that were placed only in pcbnew without a schematic symbol
counterpart assigned. It works as if "delete extra footprints" option
was always enabled when reading a netlist. The drawback is it removes
logos, mounting holes, etc. that were placed at later stage.
What is the right way to perform a PCB update? Shall we keep components
with empty schematic sheet path (i.e. placed in pcbnew) or force users
to maintain component & footprint links?
