#3 should read "limited back annotation between pcb and gschem".  If you 
  renumber reference designators in pcb via the Renumber() action, the 
capability to back annotate that to schematics exists today.  But that 
is it.  Manual renumbers, new instances, value changes (0.1 uF -> 0.01 
uF), pin swap, gate swaps, etc are not supported for back annotation.
