I'm not sure if it's been published anywhere readily accessible online, but I was in the CCIE Lab Techtorial at Cisco Live US 2012 and in that, Bruno van de Werve, product manager for the CCIE R&S lab exam, did state that the dedicated frame relay switch was removed from the configuration topology.
As Marko stated, there certainly can be frame switching done on a router in your pod. You may have back to back with or without LMI, and the TS portion very well may have a full frame switch. In my opinion, as someone who just passed the lab, it would be *extremely*foolhardy to think that you don't need to know frame relay topics cold anymore. If you ignore or gloss over frame relay, enjoy your $1500 Coke. I honestly thing the FR switch removal was little more than a cost-savings move by Cisco, reducing the number of routers they need to operate, maintain, and refresh for each lab pod.
