"The data behind this just does not support removal of Pb from solders. It will be worse for the environment, while reliability becomes very questionable (at best) if not considerably worse"
"It may be too late to stop the European Union RoHS laws from being implemented, but not too late for the rest of the world. Why do we have to follow like a herd of sheep?"
"reliability is also a large concern"
"RoHS is a very bad result of a good intention."
