There was a recent post though that seems to indicate that if PIN is somewhere on the CVM list that it'll still be asked for, even if below "no CVM". Since US cards apparently don't offline decline for any reason according to cardpeek dumps that I've seen they might not have added "no CVM" support. Instead they could have fixed the processing of the Issuer Action Codes, ultimately resulting in PIN being preferred if possible and still allowing cards without one. It's still not quite how an EMV terminal should behave but at least it doesn't leave Americans out in the cold.
Then again, they could have actually fixed CVM processing since that post too.
