It seems that most fabrication vendors prefer to remove the unconnected pads
from inner-layers, in fact we do it for them before we send out the gerbers.
But I thought I overheard Gary Ferrari say there was some test results that
showed the board to be more reliable with all pads included, but I don't
know where to find it or who did the testing.
Does anyone know if it is significant enough to re-evaluate our process?
