I would reconsider the uselessness of the battery support... (JST header and/or step-up/down)
This is definitely the first feature I look at when I want to leave something running in the field.
If no remaining place on the PCB, why not providing only 2 pads, BATTERY_IN and GND ?

Just a tip for the reverse voltage protection, you can try this mosfet based solution, which requires only 1 component http://rs20.mine.nu/w/wp-content/uploadsĀ/2013/02/pfet.png
Could we imagine this board providing a mechanical hole, in order to ease the mounting ?
Thank you @Gordon, for always trying to improve the Espruino and its user experience.
