I think this topic has cropped up before because I seem to remember posting something about the old acro that was once in there - and the iron ladder which appeared briefly but got removed.
If the CNCC wants to "do something" then my preference would be for the tat to be removed permanently. If some people genuinely can't deal with that upward pitch (and for safety reasons this may be a perfectly sensible decision) then they have the option of a quick pre-rig before pulling through down whichever pothole up on the bench.
Should we really reduce the difficulty to the level of the least competent or should we encourage people to aspire to gain greater competence before taking on a particular trip? The latter brings conservation benefits by letting natural obstacles reduce the pressure on a popular system.
Then again mine's just one small voice among many . . . . .
