V-Brake bosses issue

Hi, as a project I found and bought 00 Kona Hahanna with P2 fork. I noticed that brake bosses are welded or blazed.
That sounds not BIFL for me. Anyone here had experience of rewelding bosses' bases to have a replacable bosses?
I don't want to swap frame or fork, I have modern bike for that sh*t.
 
Why do they need to be replaceable? I've never broken a canti boss off a fork, and if you do P2 forks aren't that difficult to get hold of.

It's easy to replace a fork, but not easy to replace a frame. BIFL means buy it for life, I want to service it cheap and ride a lot, we have no good framebuilders here to weld in new bosses.
