I noted a reference to IPC-610 in a recent thread on soldering. I thought
readers might be interested in an 2011 article that takes a caustic view of
IPC-610.

TLDR: The work-inspect-rework mantra of IPC-610 is a recipe for reducing
the reliability of assemblies: mainly due to heat stress caused by manual
soldering being a higher-temperature operation that flow-soldering.
