I believe Specialized intent behind moving the cassette 2.5mm inboard is precisely for the reason you describe...in an effort to create a friendlier chainline with wider 135mm hub spacing.

See below and let me know what you think:
Yes. I'm very aware of this issue. This is what stared me working on this early last year. We already have samples of a 6-bolt, 135OLD hub with road CHAINLINE. I'm trying to gauge the market before we go into production. This will save all the McGyvering.
