Posted on November 12, 2012 at 16:06IMHO, Michurin is right and this info belongs to the user manual rather than the datasheet.

Yes; but this has to do with the GPIO-to-AF mapping, which appears to be the same across family, rather than with pinout, or am I wrong? There isn't a user manual, and the documentation is not separated in a totally unreasonable fashion. Perhaps they could cross reference better, but that's real hard to keep in sync around multiple releases, or without revising multiple documents for localized changes. For most, there are two manuals (data/reference), a third covering the flash programming, and you could use a reference for the core. Like dumping all source in a single file there are plenty of reasons to split it up. How ST demarcated the content is perhaps arguable, but it's certainly a lot better than much of the part documentation I've worked with over the years. The web site, and where documentation can be found does need a lot of work.
On low pin count devices some pins have duality of use, there are also timer pins described separately, but are connected together. GPIO pins that don't escape the package can still be muxed via the AF fabric, and can be routed internally for creative purposes. You're not wrong, my point just had a broader target.
