No, it certainly doesn't.  You're the second person to mention this.  I'll
have to go back and figure out the costs to both alternatives carefully.
Note that the 7805 solution does push some cost to other parts of the
system.

The power inputs are 1.3mm power jack and screw terminals.  I was leaving
the rest as just plated thru holes .046" in diameter.  For fixed
installation, this allows soldering wires directly.  For more flexibility
screw terminals can be installed in the prototype area.
