I didn't understand yet what we used KEEPACT for anyway, if we're sure
its okay to lose it then fine.

But the later datasheet I found recommends 22uF for this task, although
it was better for me with 1uF (than 0uF) I think if we are going to
attack it we should really resolve it according to NXP recommendation if
possible.  And that won't fit in 0402.

I found it was possible to fit a tantalum cap in the space as in the
picture I sent, but I agree it isn't easy: maybe the factory will have
an opinion.
