To keep braze on fd, or no?

I'm planning ahead on one of my winter project bikes, a mid eighties columbus sl frame. After it's powder coated it'll be built up with Cyclone mkII and some other period stuff. However, in the future I would like to go more modern with an 8 or 9 speed STI, and possibly a triple. Should I have the braze on removed in order to widen the range of fd's available to me, or will it be something I can easily work with?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
