V5 cable connectors

So if the rules state that we must use similar vex parts, or vex specific cables and the V5 cable stock is backordered, how does vex expect teams to have a competitive year.
Will vex authorize the use of V5 connector couplers to use with stock length cables in order to achieve the length needed for robots until the V5 Cable stock is readily available?
The introduction of the V5 and parts availability is a huge disappointment and the rules are crippling teams. This should be looked at as an alternative to parts shortages.
