Interestingly, one posek even voiced opposition to the minhag, arguing that the limitations imposed by its adherence would place unnecessary limitations on Pesach menus, thereby diminishing the enjoyment of the Yom Tov.


It is important to note that even those who keep this custom are careful to emphasize that it is only a stringency, and not a halachically-mandated requirement. For this reason, Hasidim and others following this minhag often partake of gebrokts on the eighth day of Pesach*, so as to symbolically join their brethren who have not adopted the chumra.

I wonder how many of "those who keep this custom are careful to emphasize that it is only a stringency, and not a halachically-mandated requirement."  Indeed,  I wonder how many people who do not eat Gebrokts know what the halacha is regarding not eating Gebrokts.
