Then I must agree to Vitaliy, you are generalizing rules that you set to
yourself. It is not a matter of "it is not allowed" or "you can't" or
"it is not possible".

As I said already, we solder the pins straight because we never had any
problems of broken solder, and also the bent pins are much harder to
unsolder when repairing the boards and in my experience they make easier
to peel-off the pads when removing them.
