If you have a connector that is fairly standard, and you change the
pinout, you risk getting in trouble when someone connects up that
power supply to their motherboard assuming that common connector is
indeed using the common pinout.

Well, Dell computers in the Pentium 3 era used a dedicated PSU with a
conventional ATX connector but the pin assignment was different from
the standard. They made an arrangement with Intel to get motherboards
using that non standard ATX connector.

Really ? Good Lord ! That's *insane*
