I'd say 20 minutes is more reasonable for gate to gate worst case at a decent walking clip. Plane train journey alone takes 7 - 8 minutes. It took me 12 to 13 minutes to get from end of A to end of E once and that was with a fair amount of running. Note that they increase MCT at ATL to 45 minutes when inbound is widebody equipment. MCT for D-I is 40 minutes (and most departures from F are likely to be international).
