@operator: If the cap bolt goes away, then don't spacers on top of the stem serve the sole purpose of producing a nice rattling noise? Just kidding, but did you mean that you need a 5mm space (instead of a spacer) above the stem for carbon steerers? Which is, of course, reasonable for carbon.
It doesn't matter. No one removes their top cap bolt after setting the headset preload anyways. It's dumb. Sheldon only mentions that as a curiosity.
