It doesn't bother me for WEC rounds but I still think there is enough prestige around qualifying at Le Mans for it to matter.
To me there was certainly a degree of excitement on the final evening about who can land the psychological blow. Obviously it barely effects the outcome of the race but it's still exciting.
I think when so much of the race is about stints, tyre management, laps on a tank and consistency - it's nice to have qualifying where it's all about speed.
I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it in action at Silverstone.
