Sorry to disappoint, but we haven't. It's true that it's divisive and I hate that; I hate lots of things about it; but it's an earnest tradition and I don't believe we should drop something like that just because it would be easier. That feels like succumbing to pressure and I don't think succumbing is a good strategy. (Not that anyone's intentionally pressuring us, it just adds up to that effect).
I know I've posted comments about this in the past but I don't know how to find them.
