Given the option of removing Trusts from Trials or leaving them and having SE improve. I would always choose the latter.
I would like SE to improve too, but there has been a worrying trend of writing since 6.1 and if the narrative quality doesn't improve then I would prefer they scrap the Trust system for Trials moving forwards.

If, however, SE does improve their quality of writing and build up to trials then I have absolutely no problem with the Trust system being there for future trials if the narrative warrants it. Alas though, there does need to be a course correction in this regard.
