If you prefer the smaller pockets for whatever reason, that weight is still releasable too - just open it up and pull out the weight - just might be a little trickier for someone else to figure it out, especially in an urgent situation.
My most frequent diving is with an HP100 in a 5 mm wetsuit, I wear zero added weight, so I don't have too much input on actual instances of dropping weight.
