From now on, whenever I do this I'll claim the board is hacked using the recommended industry standard technique. #electronics

Once the effort required got past a set threshold we’d re-spin the boards. When you’ve got 10,000 components on a 12 layer stack that’s a lot of barnicles you’ll live with though.
