Exposed vias for RGMII Ethernet - ky56 - 05-22-2020

I have not been able to find a board layout of the traces so far and I was wondering if there are vias for each the RK3399 balls are exposed on the under side pcb? If not would you consider making a future version of the PineBook Pro with Ethernet? Or at least breaking out the RGMII pins on a future board revision?

Ideally, the next version of the main board would include other things brought to the edge of the board.
Either as simple solder pads, or miniature connector solder pads.

Like:
- The other 2 USB 2.x ports, from an internal USB 2.x hub.
- Various power voltages, (5v, 3.3v, etc...)
- Possibly any un-used SPI channels
