The main reason why I need spacers is because the FTDI cable that I
connect to UART0 for debug purposes needs it. I have not checked if
there is another FTDI cable that would fit. The cable I am using was
bought by a colleague for purposes other than BBB development.

If the BBB had a right-angle connector (such as in the link below)
then a spacer might not be needed, however I am not sure if that would
not cause other problems such as electrical noise or issues with EMC
compliance. That may be the reason why a straight up connector is
fitted in the BBB.
