Zero ohm resistors in common form factors have
been around for years.
They're available in 1/4 watt rhough-hole, 1/8 watt through-hole, 1/16 watt
through-hole, all SMD sizes from 1206 on down. Usually used to set options
on a board at automated assembly time. For instance, a radio may be
optioned for different countries simply by inserting (or not) a zero-ohm
resistor. It's faster, cheaper, smaller and more reliable than removable
jumper plugs. We use them all the time.

Yes, but what tolerance do you use?
