I did see that part, which is why I said 'not much' instead of 'nothing'.

The issue with whiskers is that they grow over time (which is why I mentioned 'point in time'). I didn't see anything in there about solder alloy selection or any other mitigation.

Oh, so you mean you're interested in whiskers over time, not after manufacturing?

Sorry for the misunderstanding then.
