I'm not sure I get the higher mathematics here:

In every string of three modules, only the center module gets to keep both 
of it's MC connectors.  For the one to the left and the one to the right, 
you still have to hack off one out of two.  That's 2 out of 6, or a one 
third fatality rate on MC connectors for each string.  This doesn't sound 
all that practical.  That is only marginally better than losing 2 out of 4 
connectors in a 2 module string.

Nonetheless, the merits of providing a connector that then needs to be cut 
off so the lead can be hard wired into a box still escapes me.
