Quality is a huge concern.  Of course, even in high-end production
cards, you end up with errata, where found a PCB bug, and, as part of
the manufacturing process, we have to cut a trace and solder on a
wire.  I loathe that idea, but it's really not so bad if it's made
into a consistent process, is done properly, and passes all tests.

Bodged boards that work properly are not something you'd want to sell,
but since they work, no one's going to complain if they get one for
free.  Plus, there are going to have to be a certain number of free
boards given out ANYWAY.  Problem solved.  :)
