Raul,
     Not a practise I would recommend. We have done it once on request from
a customer. If you decide to do it beware of the following:
Different sockets will transfer heat differently. If heat transfer is too
efficient , and the part you are plugging has solder finished leads then
you may reflow the solder. Also some sockets may allow solder wicking up
the socket pins to the leads of the part (seems to be less of a problem on
machined pins).
If you really want to do this then I would suggest a trial run to see if
problems arise before proceeding full steam.
