Well the term inflexible doesn't imply in any way  shape or form that
the design is bad.  It simply means that the way it is designed prevents
it from flexing slightly outside it's design.  Many people use Monowall
on systems that are not embedded. 

No matter what you may feel, the design is from what I can tell quite
"static" and "not conducive" to changing out side it's design.  I'm just
pointing out a fact.  My apologizes that it upset you.
