In this particular case you and Bernd were of course entirely correct: no board manufacturer has to answer question about unused holes on a board. But this thread was only the last one in a series of "where is connector X?" and "what is JPy for?" threads. I was reacting in that context, I just assumed that would be clear given the number of such threads started recently. I don't think this list has ever seen so much curiosity in a Soekris board as it has the last two weeks;).
