Default Vans wing kit

Just got my confirmation of the wing kit order (RV-8) from Vans. Kit lists is "without center section"...???? Does this center wing section typically come with the fuselage order???? Just wanting to make sure before I sign and return the order.

IIRC, the center section used to be match drilled. It is now jig drilled and ships with the fuselage.

There was a notice out a few month ago stating the precision drilling was perfected and there was no need to match anymore. I would just call or email Van's to verify.
