thats easy...right now, there are none in operation, so as the old adage goes, if you make a hole and no one is around to hear it, did you really make a hole..

on a serious note..

If you look into the operators manual for the 787, Boeing has stated you are not allowed to do that...

so far, only burnt holes in batteries have been addressed...

and you see where that has got them.

(should not be a problem to re-glas the area, wait for it to cure, fix the interruption in the titanium wires though the area for lightning protection, and of course, deal with the flaming batteries because this was done in the maint mode, miswired through the APU battery)
