Nice to see them keep updating the standard. A one meter cable does not cut it. Reminds me of back in the 90s when coworkers would have me fix their computers at their houses. They would use the shortest cables possible and the poorly designed "Computer Desk" that did not allow access to the computer unless you carefully crawled under the desk and spent 20 minutes unscrewing the Parallel port/Serial Port/VGA connector etc. just so you can get it out and start doing some testing. The 90s is when I made the policy of "Drop your computer at my house and I will fix it". (I never charged them anything).
I do like my long cables and extension cables.
