There are nine holes under each of the two spots for the breadboards. Are these intended for standoffs?

I had no idea. I guess I never had the occasion to remove the adhesive before. Thanks!

The first versions had exposed pads under the breadboards that made contact with the power rails. The voltage for each breadboard rail could be set with removeable jumpers, rather needing jumper wires.
The breadboards needed to be tightened down evenly to make contact and it was overall more trouble that it was worth so the idea was scrapped but the mounting holes were never removed. I figured they would make swapping the breadboards easier than using the adhesive backing.

USE VELCRO, like on a pedalboard, so you can hot-swap out breadboards/projects.
That's what I did with my Protoboard Micro, but ran out of velcro to do my big Protoboard.
Works very well; you can start a new breadboarding project while waiting for parts delivery for the stalled project etc...

This is genius! I wish I would have done that. If I have to change them out, they'll go back on with Velcro.
I have four testing setups now, but the Protoboard's set up for pots has moved it into most-favored status. There have already been times when I could have used hot-swappable boards.
