this likely means we can also nix the very bottom left pin (12v MR) and replace it with something else later.
I found having a main relay pin at each end of the brain to be quite useful, either for better routing or for being able to get the MR12v to a component at the far end of the board without having to run a trace all the way past the IO on that side.
I think if I were to nix any then the 3x 5v pins may be the ones, was probably a mistake, I blindly added 3x for each of the 5v regs as I was thinking direct brain connection not via base board. We don't need 2x 9amp capability on the 5v.
Not sure the best way to kill those couple or what they would be used for though. Right now only boards that exist have it and could be neutered on those pins by removing the pin.
Diodes removed
Leave footprints intact incase needed and DNP the flyback diodes as some base boards will need to have things not suitable for a flyback channel on lowside 12->16.
As they are application specific they should probably be on the base boards only for when needed.
