The reaction of the system to changes often was based on
whether the job was commercial, space, or military.
The military and space jobs that I was involved with forbid
any rework. If a solder sucker was necessary to fix
something, the board and all of its parts were scrap.
Which really hurt when one of the scrap parts was a $2000
milspec, radhard, Xilinx part.

Our tentative definition of Rework was neither mis-assembly nor Special Handling (called "Custom Modified Products" at Tektronix). Your reaction suggests to me that HP always fed changes straight into the production line, even if they were too small to justify a board spin - like replacing a part with a teepee, or cutting a trace and adding a wire. Chuck thought those little things were done afterward.
