My comment to the people complaining on another forum about this - You don't like shorter yellow lights, you have two choices:

Speed up and get into an accident - Darwin wins.
Learn to drive correctly, and YIELD when you see the yellow light, which would entail SLOWING DOWN, not trying to "get through it before it goes red!".

Take your pick.
Not all vehicles in all conditions are capable of safely stopping within the limits of a short yellow. There's no harm (except to revenue) in having a long (4+ second) yellow.
