Yeah well he should still and can update the schematic. Almost every schematic design program has a designator e.g. U4 and then one or more component data fields which can be edited. Usually these contain part numbers or at least descriptions.

There's no reason to not changed it really other than it got swapped out later on and updating the schematic was too much effort.

Similarly the 3V3 on P1 should change as that's what's there not what some other board expects.

Nit picking a bit smile

In all I'd be perfectly comfortable shorting across the FET/resistor in the regulator (although I looked the internals for the specified part number and it seems he's replaced it with something else that is pin compatible). Worst case if it somehow fails and causes issues, just remove it.
