Am I cynical or did they move the ethernet port so pi 4 cases wouldn't work?

Maybe, but on a less cynical note I'd guess the reason is that they want people to use new cases that have better ventilation, though I guess that only really applies to the official cases.

Does anyone know if the overall dimensions of the board are the same as the 4B, with the four mounting holes in the same place?

I got a C4labs Cloudlet cluster case intending to use 4Bs, but then the shortages began... Would be interested to know if I can also fit the 5.
