Has this had any impact on repair and rework of electronic devices and
equipment?


RoHS is an evil plot to do something - but its not clear exactly what!!!

The result out in the field is that electronic equipment is much less
reliable and has a maximum life expectancy of around a couple of years.

Since the now 5x (or more!) as much electronics scrap is no longer permitted
in landfill, it gets dumped on third world countries for slum dwellers to
pick over mounds of the stuff for recyclable materials.
