1. Nowhere else are people required to pack up their poop, and carry it in a backpack. When backpacking, that pack carries food, shelter and bedding. Nobody wants excrement mixed with that, and the idea that it is included in the pack -- well, it is disgusting to even me.
One small thing that might help would be to upgrade the quality of the wag bags. I find them thin, and know of several cases where they broke and spilled the contents inside the backpack. The bags used at Shasta several years ago were at least double the thickness. I personally carry a heavy duty zip lock to put the wag bag in.
