Driver Station no longer has stop button?

When we took a look at the 2012 driver station, we realized that there was no space for the stop light like last year. Does this mean that stop light is no longer required? If so, maybe they did it so we could use that port for the Kinect, although the 2011 classmate has 3 usb ports where 2 of which go to the hub.
2 for joysticks, 1 for usb drive, 1 for kinect.

I think the stop button is more important for us during the build season because the robot could do unexpected things. In the actual competition, they will have a stop button for us.
