Could anybody help explain the retionale behind the "exposed copper" specification? Why would any amount be rejectable for high-reliability applications? I can understand that for specific applications (e.g.: flex circuits that go inside an HDD), loose copper oxide can permanently damage the media surface. But for most other applications, such sensitivity does not exist.

It seem that there is some confusion between SOLDER coverage and SOLDERMASK
coverage.  IPC-RB-276, the bare board spec, allows exposed copper (copper
that is not covered with solder) along the vertical edges and 1% of the other
conductor surface that is not covered with soldermask or meant to be
soldered.  The same specification, IPC-RB-276 Amend. 1, does not allow voids
