I think not. It's probably a remnant from the time that break-alignment 
piggybacked
on align-interface.

I'm not sure if this is the right solution; it might be that adjusting the
springs is a better approach. There is already quite elaborate tuning going 
here for springs. 

In any event, the name padding should be changed; it's already used a lot for
(mostly vertical) padding in side-position-interface. Maybe it's possible to
integrate the functionality of no-spacing-rods into the property as well.
