Now I know what aldaeron was referring to when he wrote "It is very easy to plug the PWM into the limit switch pins or vice versa."

That's my point though, the average team that uses PWMs is not going to go out and buy a bunch of these 16 pin connectors (which also adds to the cost of each controller), strip apart the ribbon cables, and splice each one with a 3-pin and 2 2-pin PWM cables, they're going to just plug a standard PWM cable into it, which seems like a terrible idea with this connector.
