Exactly.

There are some distant gate connections at MSP where even using the tram, a 20 minute period between arriving at the gate on one flight and making it before doors shut for the scheduled onward flight is not sufficient. At 32 minutes, i'm quite a bit more confident. With only 20 minutes or less between actual gate arrival time and the next flight, I will find myself in trouble from time to time, unless there's a cart to ferry directly to the onward gate.
