To add one more use...... they can be very useful as an educational 
tool.  If you should have a supplier quality concern, reviewing the X outs 
included in the shipment can be very enlightening.  It can lead to a better 
understanding of your supplier's manufacturing problems as well as 
improvements in your board designs.

Dave,
If you did get the X-outs, you could use those boards for other purposes,
such as process development, residue characterization, baking / 
solderability
tests, etc.  Many companies benefit from having a few extra boards around to
play with, especially when it comes time to troubleshoot a new process.  You
might also keep some of the X-outs on file as a representative of that
particular lot or shipment.
