No Autonomous this year?

Did anyone else notice that in the pinout for the competition port, no mention is made of autonomous mode? The only mention I found was that when the team number is set to zero, the RC will be autonomous, and that there is a status LED that blinks to indicate auto mode.

I suspect that this is simply an oversight, and that they will issue an update soon. But it could also mean that there will be no autonomous phase in the matches this year, since there would be no way for the competition controller to command the robots into auto mode!
