I am in favor of being able to leave the flagstick in.  It will help speed up play.  A person who is up no longer has to wait for everyone to make their way to the green to either tend or pull the flag for them.  So much time is wasted in this process.  And I don’t feel leaving the stick in creates any sort of advantage.  In fact, your speed my need to be a little more precise.  A positive Rule change in my opinion.
