v.net proposes a flag (-s) that allows to snap points to the network in a 'connect' operation, instead of creating new arcs between the points and the network. In a majority of cases the result of using the flag is, IMHO, more useful than not using it.
I, therefore, propose to inverse the behaviour by making snapping to network the default, and using a flag (such as '-a' for 'add arcs') to activate the creation of connecting arcs.
As this kind of module API change is only possible in a next major release, I propose to at least change the documentation to recommend the use of the '-s' flag.

See https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2358 for a discussion of what happens when -s is not set.
