Why did the DIY Drones team make the design decision to mount the GPS module on the board directly instead of using the JST type wire cable to allow external mounting of the GPS?
If the plane is made with carbon fiber shielding or other GPS signal blocking materials, it would enforce some physical constraints of where to put the APM 2.0 autopilot.
Are there plans to sell a separate SD card breakout (instead of the one with GPS module) for those who preordered the APM 2.0 and want to switch to an externally mounted GPS?

Steve, look closely at the photos here, and the ordering details. They're on it.
