Should the Yield be brought back?

I would like about 5 yields and u-turns as well, so it would allow the teams to determine the most strategic point to use their yield and U-Turn power (As Phil explains in older seasons).

Yeah, 5 are enough since a team can only use yield & u-turn once. It does stimulate the team's strategy towards other teams.
Declive:
Yes please
Glamazon Racer:
I say yes, but not at the expense of the U-Turn. The number of Yields should be kept to a minimum, and they must do Double Yields (otherwise the Yielded team might have no hope to catch up) but I would like the number of U-Turns (preferably Double U-Turns) to increase. :)
redskevin88:
Yes. If used smartly, it's a good tool in the race.

I always loved the yield, but i equally love the u-turn, I might even like it a bit better since it gives the targeted team something to do besides stewing in their juices and it means that we can see the lesser preferred detour choice (morse code!).
Probably my favourite yield moments are both of the weavers': singing at one and eating macdonalds at the other, and lyn and karlyn's: overcoming the yield and being so so close to coming in first that leg (maybe if they weren't yielded they could have won >< ).
My hope for the yield is that it doesn't come back to replace the u-turn but that it makes a cameo appearance sometime in the future, like season 16's intersection! (loved it).
I wonder if modern teams are still briefed on the yield prior to the race...
