  • Barrier terminal block connector holes are too large

  • there’s plating on a bunch of pegs

  • P3 footprint had mechanical tab in the way - check BOM

Overall conclusion, kinked pins are much better and it’s probably not worth changing all the footprints for the board lock (they are also more expensive and we may have to buy all the pins).
