Well I have one case of dropout only replacement in the pipeline for myself and another one for a fellow forumger where I am replacing the entire rear triangle and making the back end detachable

where I am replacing the entire rear triangle
Well thats all the encouragement I need!
I do realise though that it would be completely unnecessary for me to do anything to it at all.
The only reason really would be so that I could swap in my wheels from other bikes and just future proofing it really. It would also open up the possibility to make space for tyres over 30c.
But going to all that bother over just having a frame built does seem silly.
Theres also the thought that its might sort of be sacrilege to mess with the frame in anyway.Ha, I need to see this detachable rear end bike when it finished!

Right, that's good!
Yes, I completely accept that it's hard to really see any reason to actually do it since it would be very uneconomical. I just wanted to know if it would be possible but I realise that, if seat and chain stay were also replaced, it would probably be approaching the cost of what having a whole new frame made would be.
Of course, this is all just hypothetical. Only an idiot would seriously consider it, right? :)
edit - yeah part of the thought included switching to flat mount too
