After a friend of mine taught me how to remove the intestines without splitting the pelvis I no longer split it.
Although I agree that leaving the meat on the bone if you are able to cool it quickly provides more tender meat and a better overall flavor. I generally have to sacrifice the pelvis in order to cool the meat quickly.
