Your comments please, pro & con, regarding immersion gold over nickel as a pad
finish for thru hole and surface mount circuit cards which are destined for
severe environment service.  (Military, industrial or automotive)

This is a consideration to obtain flat pad surfaces in preparation for
soldering, as opposed to using HASL.  In most cases the CCA's will be
conformal coated.  Environmental test temperature ranges will range as far as
-55 to +90C.
