Engineering Services Network has tried tenting vias on one side The board
vendors didn't like it because flux could get trapped during reflow.
The mask leaked to the bottom side and if that via was a test point it
didn't make contact with the test pin.
We have gone back to untented vias because of all the problems they caused
