in keeping with the spirit of what we do here to hack, twist and bend
the modern to fit in with the old, where possible? Shouldn't the OP pull

Why?
By drilling out the unused position of the connector, he makes it more
versatile in which cables it can connect with. No longer will he be
limited to male cables in which the unused pin has been removed.
