That sounds like a trick a PC manufacturer would use to avoid honouring
a warranty repair request -- leave a few unstuffed components on a
thru-hole board, then declare the warranty void because "extra holes
were drilled into the board".
Put it this way: given the "fun" I've had with component suppliers and
"warranties", it wouldn't surprise me in the least to hear of someone
doing that.
