If you get boards from anyone without the logo, they are in fact at that point your board. So you can do whatever you like. Make whatever changes you want. And, you can build the board as long as you want.
Once we change a board, we no longer make the old revision. If I start making changes for commercial users, then I am faced with the task of making sure none of the other commercial users are upset with these changes,I end up being a free product engineering department for all these commercial users. I choose not to go down that path. I can't win no matter what I do. In addition, the change you want means I have to add a bigger buffer. More cost. PCB layout charges. New stencils.Change the P&P program. Scrap the current buffer and order new buffers and try to get them in here fast enough not to shutdown my production line. Multiply this by say 500 commercial users.
