I'd wait with that part until the schematics are absolutely final.
IIRC there were some corrections to be done after the last "release".

Pins? Who uses pins these days? ;-)

The PCB is still from the revG schematics which is over a year old.
Use the latest BOM and schematics as reference.

IMHO we should collect all datasheets of the parts we use and put
them onto a webiste. Although most of them are freely available online
it always takes some time to look for them.
