I don't even understand the OP. "what is the current official guess for production games"? ummmm, I guess they'll have 4 legs and a lot of lights.... some pinballs... will make noise... but these guesses aren't really official, although they are current.

Well, this is wrong, no matter how many times it's stated. Unless I'm really misinterpreting what you mean here. The main pf is bare when it starts the assembly line journey at the JJP factory. Unless you consider having inserts installed as being 'populated.' The components for the mini-pf's are also installed at the factory in side areas. And not every connection is quick-connect. The coils have spade lugs. The Led lights and many switches are soldered to a harness. I examined every single station on the JJP assembly line. Best part of the open house!) There are about 15 stations, although I may be off a bit here. And they may go from 1 to 2 soldering stations, a time-consuming step. The cabinet and backbox assembly also require several steps each.
