The full article was in reference to how 9 hikers have fallen from the cables since 1972, of these 3 were fatal and these three fatalities being within the last year.
So the article suggests making a better way to get to the top.
And listen, I've been to the top of Quarter Dome only to turn around because there was a 2 hour wait to even get to the cables. So I am ALL FOR an ADDITIONAL ROUTE up, like a 2nd lane if you will, but for goodness sake, DO NOT REMOVE THE ORIGINAL CABLES! ITS WHY THE TRAIL IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR HIKING TRAILS IN THE WORLD! ITS A CHALLENGE YOU MUST BE WILLING TO TAKE!
If someone is complaining about the only route being over crowded, then I can relate. Add a second route.
If someone is complaining about the cables being too "dangerous" THEN DON'T HIKE THE TRAIL YOU MORON, GO BACK TO THE VALLEY
