They did.

No.

I have already removed the "glue" tape from mine.

Yes. First thing I verified. If not there would have been a big fat
WARNING (repeat 20 times) in my message.

Nothing to be pissed over this time :)

Except the design errors of swapping SD controllers, not having FEL
externally reachable (the combination of both is quite annoying), and no
test points for UART & JTAG, but we have already been over those.. UART
and SDC0 i at least reachable via the EOMA68 connector, but a mess for
using the card standalone. It is not easy to find pins that fits the
connector.
