The Institute of Waste Reduction in Electronics in Germany have made a
proposal to the EU that the next review of RoHS incorates a clause to
ban all through-hole components. This is because the amount of solder
and flux used is twice as much, compared with surface-mount components.
They also propose re-introducing lead into solder pastes as they
consider the easier wetting of 63/37 produces smaller fillets.
