Yeah, I've heard/read that, too, somewhere, but it don't make sense to me. The brake bridge looks to me like a pre-manufactured piece that gets brazed in place after its holes have already been made. I assume that the frame gets held at some point by this brake bridge, but how one extra little hole would make that impossible, I can't imagine.
