Thanks for the explanation.  Sorry, I didn't remember how tight things
were.  I was thinking about how we now have more space--just not that
much more space.

So, I ran some numbers the other direction through the equations to
see what impedance we can expect from the connector lands and smaller
trace sizes without smaller trace separation:

The good news is it looks like we are still within the +/-15% of 100
Ohm.  I'll explain more later.

Thanks for the video, I watched the first 55s and thus this reply.
I'll finish watching and then tie up loose ends.
