That also ignores the failures due to the much more difficult process. We
don't have the highest quality manufacturing facility, but I suspect many are
far less capable. We have seen significant decreases in yields as a direct
result of the lead free process, not neccesarily the solder. Heat a board to
260C, and you don't need whiskers to make it fail.
