[CQ-Contest] Classic - Doing what was intended?

[Edward Sawyer]

After seeing literally more than a dozen well known contesters in each mode
"opt down" for the 24 hours of Classic and others commenting they may try it
next year, I have to ask - is it doing what was intended?  Seems to be a
nice choice for those who feel inclined at the moment but taking 40+ hour
contesters down to 24 hours is not "helping contesting" necessarily, folks.
Maybe there are lots of people "opting up" to 24 hours who used to do 10 or
15 hours, I don't know.  But it does not seem to be "achieving expectations"
collectively, from where I sit. Maybe the positive results are just not
obvious.
