The rules were set out early without any spacing on the side. For whatever
reason (Bruce, me, otherwise), that is the ruleset that was posted. You had
several weeks to complain, and no one did until not too long ago.
Since then, people may be expecting to be able to build up to the side. If you
make an official change now, all the people who may have built up to the side
are saying, why are you penalizing me for starting early on my design?
Hence, my lack of eagerness to change the rule to enforce a larger space.
Let's take a quick tally?
Who, who is entering, wants a six dot space on the sides of the common board?
Does anyone wish to object to the six dot increase?
