  Our (8245)
boards have had the sockets re-soldered at least 3 times
 each, due
entirely to handling stress.

Not mentioned is the fact that the pins eventually
 oxidize.

Fortunately I found a little zif to pga socket that I can
 put in a wire wrap socket.  If the pins start oxidizing
 before this project is over I'm in trouble anyway.
