Hello Ajith, In the future, please search the developers mailing list before spending time writing a proposal. You would have saved yourself a lot of time since almost everything in your proposal has already been discussed. Pin remapping support is already part of the new symbol file format which has been documented[1]. As for the rest of your proposal, this is primarily library organization which is a personal preference. There is nothing currently stopping you from creating atomic (fully defined) symbol/footprint/3D model assemblies but that is not something the KiCad project is interested in providing other than possibly a high level format that encapsulates these entities for portability (which has also been discussed).
