Is the code requirement really keeping good people out of ham radio?

Made Extra in 1995 and had to do 20wpm. I did it and have NEVER used CW
since and have no intention to ever do so..even if "someone is dying!"
IMHO it is an outdated requirement and will/should be dropped altogether
very very soon....

It certainly didn't keep me out, and I wasn't all that crazy about
learning it, either.
