Yes, please do. No matter how awesome your own footers may be - there may be quite a few communities who have the previously official templates embedded, haven't yet realized they're no longer staff supported, and would be quite taken aback when they realize the footer is redirected to something they've not had any say in.

Plus, for now, we're leaving the footers open as an experiment, to see if the community can handle them responsibly. It's much harder to keep an eye on that if they're redirecting to user creatons.

I hope that makes sense!

(If you'd rather keep using your own templates, you're of course welcome to - you'd just need to approach individual communities and have them agree to embed yours instead)
