This is contrary to what I would expect - it doesn't make sense to me. = And, based on the lack of other responses, is contrary to what others = would expect.

Obviously, this is not because of a routing =3D concerns, it is an electrical consideration. Are there any reasons from = =3D electrical point of view ?
