Because I just remember this, while I wrote about holes and multilayer.
I would love to selectively switch of the copper ring per layer on
vias and pins.
The reason is that I only need to ring on solder side and on connecting
layers.
On layers I don't need the ring it just reduces space, especially
problematic with a via field e.g. inside a BGA.
It is not just routing space - the wider space between vias and pins
are preferable for groundplanes too.
