Tony, I'm calling you out: this is utter and complete bullshit.
You would advocate physically marring a board as "reversible" since you
could "solder a piece of wire over the break", but someone swapping screws
is permanently altering a machine's make-up?
Please tell me you're joking.

It's the
irreversable stuff I don't like - people cutting holes in cases
or tracks on PCBs to modify them etc.; reversible things I have no
But PCB tracks can be easily un-cut -- just solder a piece of wire over
the break. Wire-wrap wire (stripped, of course) is ideal for this.
