... I don't like that, among other people.
So, some anonymous people don't like it. To paraphrase your reason: "we've always done it this way, so we don't want to change it."

True, but is there a good reason for not changing it? It seems there is a great deal of interest in the feature along with a neutral (0?) vote. Their presence will change the "atmosphere" of the site. The question is will it be for the better? While we can't know for sure unless it happens, I think it's worth finding out. If it turns out to be a disaster, the votes can be agrregated and we're back to where we are now. Plus we will have learned something; maybe how to do it better.

Have fun,
