This.

With the new flexibility being granted in determining frame configurations, it would be nice to see similar flexibility in the frame perimeter bumper coverage rules.

For example, a better way to regulate bumper coverage might be something like: "each end of a frame perimeter side must be protected by bumpers covering no less than 25% of the total length of that side or 8 inches, whichever is less" (or something like this).

This would allow you to create an extremely long or short frame edge and still NOT have to completely cover that side with bumpers.
