Any issues with soldering to an RoHS-compliant module with ordinary

Other than making it RoHS non-compliant?

I use 60/40 solder for prototyping, with a mix of RoHS and non-RoHs
components. I haven't had problems -- but I haven't tried to get
anything through environmental cert, either.

60/40 for reliability, tin solder for compliance.

63/37 is the eutectic alloy. I've never noticed a difference in performance
with 60/40, but I feel better about it. ;-)
