The upcoming "circuit network connector" and train stops

[scwizard]

Will smart inserters need a circuit network connector? Or can they be wired to the circuit network directly?

If they need a connector, then it becomes impossible to have a row of smart inserters. For a smart train stop you basically need a row of smart inserters.

So does this mean that smart train stops are no longer practical, along with any other task that might require a row of smart inserters?

Ahh, they might want to update the original post, so that there isn't any lingering confusion.
