pah!
Not just yours, i think its a common one.

there is another way ;-)
That only uses about 50 wires for *ALL* the modules, regardless of how many
modules you had.
The way I thought of also had the aadvantage that jack multiples would be a
thing of the past.
With the system I dreamt up, you could patch one output into as many inputs
as you wanted,
so One LFO could drive 15 other modules, wihtout needing a 'jack multiple'
module.

But people won't like the way I thought of...
