@joadri, well of course they will have some kind of blog post with that stuff. They day of the presentation was only days after they received the PCBs, and it was a world-exclusive glimpse.
But the blog post still might only say “look we got PCBs, we’re getting there, currently testing / assembling” and not mention what the orientation of the board is.
It’s not like they are under any obligation to explain the positioning of each component to the critics. It’s just us nerdy geeks trying to figure out what they did. What matters more, is in how many weeks we can inspect it first hand and not rely on screen captures 
By the way, I think a point that has not really been brought up is that the cessation of hardware updates seems to coincide with the announcement of the PinePhone (as I became aware by @amosbatto’s excellent spec comparison)
As open as they want to be, I can imagine that some clever details or chip choice they didn’t want to reveal too early to keep some advantage of their research.
