How often does it happen that a team has to perform a late-stage die diet?

Of course, there are all sorts of packaging thresholds - cabinet,
box, board, as well as chip - that design teams have faced over

Gordon Bell, Craig Mudge, and John McNamara, "Packaging and
Manufacturing," chapter 3 of Computer Engineering: A DEC View
of Hardware Systems Design, 1978
