We have a 12 layer board with a heavy ground layer that had
        three edge BNC type connectors installed using a mini wave.

        The circuitry tracing away from the connectors is surrounded by
        vias.  There is a distinct lightening of the board material I
        have typically associated with measling.  This lightening
        however, doesn't have any fiber crosshatching I am used to
        seeing with measling, not does it look like classic
        delamination.  I have documented the event as delamination for
        lack of a better description.

        The opposing consensus is that it is "merely" soldermask
        discoloration.  Without classic delamination or measling
        features, I don't feel I have a leg to stand on to call it
        anything other than that. (Don't worry though - both sides feel
        the Customer needs to review the board no matter WHAT the defect
        is).

        Does anyone have any opinions?
