That's really not true. As a module builder, you can make all the turns you want.
This one makes a whole bunch:

If you can't figure out how to put the output in the correct place, with respect to
the input, that's not a problem with the standard.
See, there are two different things being talked about here.
A) Before Brickfest, many people will be building modules for the GBC
B) At Brickfest, we'll be assembling the modules to create a complete Great Ball
Contraption.
(A) should be possible, no matter how the input/output is arranged.
And, I have no doubt when we're at Brickfest we will succeed at (B), given the
current standard. Adding turns and things will only make that much more difficult.
If people are not able to make standard modules, that will be a bummer. But, I
don't really see it as a issue.
