The NEBNext® End Repair Module is missing the A-tailing component (likely taq ploymerase).

I might be late to the party but does the NEBNext module no longer include the Blunt/TA Ligase Master Mix? It seems that now the kit contains the enzyme only despite the ONT protocol calling for the mastermix. Very frustrating to spend so much on a "one-stop" kit only to find out I'm missing a key component.
