Nucleo User Manuals don't show the VCP UART connection

eg, UM2179 STM32 Nucleo-144 boards (MB1312):

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Also UM1724 for the Nucleo-64s:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

UM1956 (Nucleo-32) just doesn't label the connection at all:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

But UM1974 for Nucleo-144 boards (MB1137) does show it!

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Probably also worth a general check on Discovery and other boards ...

@mƎALLEm Any update on this?

The manuals have not been corrected yet, and this continues to cause confusion:

@Andrew Neil

Unfortunately not yet and I don't have a visibility on this fix.

The only info is just this will be applied to the new Boards' UMs. For the old ones I cannot confirm.
