Not necessarily. You can make a modular connector sleeve which disconnects
from the corridor itself with 1x1 technic bricks. So, switching out a
standard connector with an adapter would be easy. Similar to the modular
corridor idea on the Moonbase site, if people want to make their mating
interface modular to allow for adapters, that's cool too.
I like this idea a lot - it does not damage the standard because it is 100%
adaptable. And I like the idea of wide corridors :-)
