Quoted from flugs:Wow, this is a quite brute approach and I do not think this is an appropriate solution (except you want to find your pin in the "worst repair hack" thread one day).
It also may lower the value of the pin if you want to sell it one day (I would not want to have a board with soldered connections and it normally tells you that the repair was not done by a professional and you are asking yourself what else has been done to the boards).
Flugs...you've misunderstood. This poster was simply removing the Z-Connector by cutting it out, and joining the wires, which is a completely acceptable action. The Z-Connector is only there to ease manufacture anyway.
