Put the bolts in after the piton placement has been "enlarged enough" for free climbing.

Nobody is perfect....

When freeing aid lines all attempts should be made to not use fixed gear.  A leader should be willing to risk life and limb.  Depending on the day of course.

Talked with my buddy Jeff Vance.  He doesn't remember any of the piton placements on the FA of Delusion Overhang to be on the sketchy side.  Of course, now that we are all clean climbers I am not sure what that means unless someone whats to go up there and put in a few pins for protection if nuts and cams aren't any good.

For example, we would not replace the pins on Premeditated with bolts.

Not even long glue-ins? the glue would bond the rock together...
