Of all the things to worry about in a pack of riders seems like popping a QR would be down on the list.
I don't worry about them catching on anything while riding. Actually I don't really worry about them at all. But I have had them catch on things like bike racks and random things in the garage, you know, maneuvering the bike through tight spaces.
I've replaced the QR on a couple of bikes with Allen key skewers. On bikes with lawyer lips I find the Allen key ones quicker to install, no more trial and error to see if I got the QR tension right. I have a multitool in each patch kit so no worries there.
Man, the good riding weather must have mellowed people out. No flame wars yet.
