Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

It's up to you, but what difference would it make? I gather hat you never ride with the QRs in the open position, and the cams are made such that QRs that are fully closed do not open by themselves, not is that the issue with the "problem" levers.

I have no problem with the recall, it's something that Trek and all OEMs that use these skewers need to do. But understand that it's not about any risk with a properly used skewer, it's about mitigating the risks of misuse. Those who properly use QRs have no reason to be concerned.
