(1)Moving walkways speed connections. On two different trips (3 weeks apart), a crucial mw was out of service at CLT. I think it has now been fixed.
(2)At times the crowds at CLT can impede efficient movement between gates.
(3)If OP should have to use a restroom (this does happen
) a close connection could become impossible.
(4)A possible inbound delay could make a "legal" conn "illegal"
I agree with you on (2).... why are there so many people everywhere at CLT?
Most don't seem to understand the moving walkways are not there to "move" them around and that they are supposed to be walking on the walkway as well.
As for restrooms, I do not use restrooms at CLT if I can help it. I really do not enjoy attendants watching my every move. (but if the restroom is crowded, then I use it)
