Is this mean that I unable to create a pin with one-side pattern? Or is 
it still possible some how?

Actually, I need to create a pinboard (bed of nails), in which case, 
sometimes (hopefully never) I should remove the solder from the pins to 
be able to remove the board itself and this operation is extremely hard 
if the holes are plated and soldered on both sides.

Do anyone plan to implement this kind of functionality in pcb?
