It just makes sense to upsize to the next size bit for the Omeg pots to
avoid all that filing. Thanks to Jeff for brining it up so we can make our
drilling services even better.

Both of these observations are quite true. I have done this filing on
several Stooge panels. The reason I've given up drilling holes in Stooge
panels is that I don't have a drill press, and a punch and hand drill did
not produce results that I was proud of. I think that changing a drill bit
is easy, and that others that do not have the tools or the skills may
benefit from having the (slightly) larger Oakley Omeg pot holes. Maybe I'm
lazy (or not that skilled), but I will appreciate having the pot holes
a little larger for the Oakley pots.
