I don't think traditions should be discarded lightly.  Tradition often exists for a reason, one not immediately obvious, and you sometimes don't find out the downside to discarding the tradition until after you have done it.

Often the reason is outdated.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...or, you may think it's outdated, and realize later that it isn't -- that on an underlying basis, things have changed less than you think.  Deciding that everything from the past is outdated can be an extreme form of arrogance.
