If you oil or grease the spoke threads instead of using Spoke prep, linseed oil or thread lock, and then tension the spokes uniformly and to a high enough level, the friction between the nipple and the rim (whether or not there is an eyelet) will be enough to keep the nipples from loosening. That way if you have to true the wheel again later for any reason, you'll be able to turn the nipples.
