My post was really just a pre-necessity rant; at the moment the ports are just a potential issue.
Thanks for the suggestion, but having my keyboard resting flat suits me fine, and I'd stick with it even though your alternative would mitigate a down the line port situation.
That will mean the options for physical connections to external devices will be even more limited than they are in today's models.
How would you envision them being more limited than the four USB-C ports I've got now? Do you think Apple would cut the number down to one or two and force us to buy docks?
