I don't think so!  I know dozens of people who would fit this, including myself.  Changing a power supply involves two tools: to unmount/mount it (a 
screwdriver) and to unplug and replug the connectors (finger & thumb Mk.1 !)  To change the pins around in the connector to match a nonstandard 
layout needs a lot of (double-checked) information on which pins need to be swapped, and tools to remove and insert the pins from the housing, 
which even I haven't got (and I have a *lot* of tools!).
