Tradition often exists for a reason
Often the reason is outdated.
I voted option 1.
...or, you may think it's outdated, and realize later that it isn't -- that on an underlying basis, things have changed less than you think. Deciding that everything from the past is outdated can be an extreme form of arrogance.
Deciding that everything from the past should be upheld simply because it is tradition can be form of extreme arrogance as much. In general traditions tend to change more slowly than the underlying circumstances that have supported them. Additionally, it is one of the main hallmarks of Western civilization compared with Eastern civilizations to break with tradition, and this is to no small degree responsible for the West's success compared with others.
