 		 #170124 - Lots of SMD pads on the other side
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As I suggested in a previous post.

On the reverse side have room for 100 SMD. One pad to every signal line and the other pad to GND. You keep track of which signals that should have a bypass to GND, and add the capacitors.

Short-circuit the two pads to connect a GND signal to the ground plane.

I'm not sure if there would have been space enough for it, but it might have been possible to have a three-pad design, allowing you to optionally add a component from signal to VCC instead.
