So they can actually be pulled out from above, once the solder joint is suitably molten? That would certainly make the job easier.
All my A1200 motherboards look like the pins have heads underneath. They look so secure. That's why I've always wondered why so many users have trouble with them working loose.

That's bad practise. You should always crop wires or pins first, and then solder them. That way there are no dissimilar metals exposed to encourage corrosion.
