Latest spin of xBuddy board lacks populated GPIO and debug headers

Hello,

I'm not sure how long this has been a thing, I just got my MK4 kit and I noticed that the GPIO and debug headers are no longer populated on the xBuddy board (and it seems that other components that support the GPIO header are unpopulated too). If the GPIO header was dropped due to a lack of use case/technical limitations that's understandable, but leaving out the debug header seems a bit disappointing as I was planning to make my own changes to the xBuddy firmware, unless there is another option in recovering the board in the event of a botched firmware change?

Please note that any interference with xBuddy will void the warranty. If you want to flash your FW, you need to break out a piece of board on the xBuddy as a fuse. And the warranty is gone.

Yes, this is something that I am aware of.
