This guy only has it half right - you have to make the hole off axis

practicality is limited in the camera lens due to the small space
between the secondary mirror and the edge of the corrector lens.

Yes, this is pretty limiting if the aperture has to be circular. But there's really no reason it has to be circular or that there can't be more than one aperture. Just don't ask me to calculate the effective focal ratio and DOF. :-)
